'''Description of Artwork:''' Paintings of nude figures. The nine controversial works were all water colors of women. Eight of the paintings are works from two models: a 78-year-old woman and another a woman in her ninth month of pregnancy. In the ninth painting, a third woman strikes a pose looking over her shoulder with her back to the viewer. There was no objection to a painting of a naked man, genitalia in full view. | '''Description of Artwork:''' Paintings of nude figures. The nine controversial works were all water colors of women.
