- blumomo 6y agoHow many HN karma points are required to flag an article? Edit: Ah, there actually was a flag link, I overlooked it.

- bradknowles 6y agoI respect that she uses herself as the subject of these paintings. On difficult subjects, if the artist is also the model, then you neatly sidestep the problem of the potential that they didn’t know what they were doing, or that they were coercing the model, or that they were debasing the model by objectifying them. Now, it is possible for someone to coerce someone else to be both artist and model, but that meta-level of coercion would happen off the page/screen/canvas.
