I gotta go with race, here--it's very very... I don't know exactly how to phrase it. Naked white people are porn. Naked black people are cultural anthropology. You know? They're lesser, and it's okay to show their naked asses because they're uncivilized. You could see pictures of naked black women in National Geographic, but never naked white women.
The woman painting herself having sex with every single president... well, that's about her more than them, isn't it? Not sure what kind of statement she's making, but if she's going to paint all forty-four, I don't think it's about nudity, and it sure isn't about a specific person (except herself).
