That may or may not be an argument for having a Nude section in the first place but since it is there........
I can think of very good examples of Klimt's work as well as of Shiele that pass muster as portraits better than many of the 'classical pose' nudes in the section here but would not be accepted because they are not classical poses. I suspect that prudishness is at the root of this rather than what is relevant to a portrait site and if so then that is a shame.
