Nudes 2026 Calendar

As artists, we can appreciate the human form as a beautiful photographic subject, but it seems that once one starts working with the simple naked form, something not so simple begins to happen. Inspired by our artistic aspirations, we delve into form, play with light and composition, line and shadow, shape and movement, forgetting that the body contains a person, forgetting that the person contains a personality, forgetting content and commentary, assuming that what we see is what everyone sees. As figure artists, we must submit that regardless of our intent, the figure has a voice of its own. There is something so pure and intense about the human form, so innocent and piercing, that it cuts through all the centuries of lies and cover ups and tells us about truth. To gaze upon the naked form is to look at all that is good and real and honest about humanity; to see all that is beautiful about ourselves. This year’s calendar contains a few of the nude images I have created over the years. While the Nude is not everyone’s cup of tea, I felt moved to share these images of art, because that is what these images are, Art. In a world where beauty is lacking, the human form can bring us back to the simplicity that is life.
