We just cant get enough of Bill Henson

Screening tonight on ABC at 10pm will be a documentary about Bill Henson, entitled “The Art of Bill Henson”. Originally scheduled to air on Sunday Arts, the ABC has made a saavy move to keep up with the hype and instead has brought it forward. So if you know nothing about Bill Henson then its a great opportunity to see for yourself.

    I can’t believe what has happened to Bill Henson. Does that mean Cherubs and cupid will be banned because they are naked children? All the years taking photographs and nothing has happened. The body in an artistic form weather it be a child or an adult is beautiful. The body as a whole is sexual, this has gone too far.
    In the country you see animals being sexual, you see the penis of a horse. It is ridiculous to ban the art of humanescence. It is as far fetched as banning a horse with an erection or animals breeding. What sort of society are we creating. It only becomes sexual when it is hushed away and not allowed to be natural which is what Bill henson is. His work is natural. Let’s face it nakedness has been in art for centuries.

    Well, they should hang him from a gallery ceiling and give the horse a free pass.
