...watch than Harvard getting owned at last year’s Harvard-Yale football game was the naked MIT boy running around the field. Well, the joke is on you, MIT. Your streakers are not attractive. Here are 15 people we’d actually like to see nude in New Haven: 1) Dean Pilbeam. The man must have a nice body, what with his abstaining from alcohol and the workout he gets from killing parties. 2) Domna.

There are also more conventionally-defined “drawings” on paper; a twentieth-century nude by Elie Nadelman shares a wall with works by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, Edgar Degas, and an anonymous nineteenth-century artist in Rajasthan, India, among others.

Right-wing Hindu political parties were incensed when Husain painted a series depicting Indian deities in the nude. Although criminal complaints against him were dropped in 2004 by the New Delhi High Court, attacks against the painter were rekindled last year when an Indian newsweekly published an advertisement featuring a Husain painting in which a naked representation of mother India draped herself across a map of the country...
