If Mr Hussain's paintings offend you, I respect your right to speak against him and his work. I simply disagree with the notion that artists need to be politically or religiously correct with their work. I am not terribly fond of nudity in art per se but I feel attemps to curtail artistic freedom are usually futile. They often have a boomergang effect as controversy generates more publicity for the artist which in turn, typically, sends the price of his work up and ends up rewarding him instead of punishing him. If this is a choice between religious sensitivity and artistic freedom I am convinced about where I stand but can see why others might feel differently about it.
