Women tend to recognize this line much better than men I have noticed. But regardless, there is a very common misconception out there. Sure we all recognize things like the David by Michelanglo as art, but in modern times not everyone is carving religious nude pieces. More commonly nudity in modern art involves tattoos and piercings to a certain degree. People tend to fail in realizing what is tacky nudity and what is artsy nudity. An example of an artist who draws girls generally topless, but intends all of his work to be art is Joe Pekar. Unfortunately a lot of his work is closer to porn because more people would rather see that, which I find pretty sad. He recently released a book called Strawberry which features a lot of beautiful pieces of art. Pin-up girls are another good example of art that tends to be received more like porn. I have always thought that feminine beauty was always the most stunning. Maybe the key is to be more open-minded about seeing naked figures.
