Film is obviously fictional..but I guess a 2-d stationary image is a metaphor for reality! I wonder then, will my own work of re-interpeting christianity receive such sought-after accolades?" The law in the UK, as applied to films, was retrospective, that was it. Also, it was clear, that Henson was targeting the internet, he was giving jurisictions which had criminalized his stuff, a miss. He's a hick photographer, who reads trash novels, who compares himself to Italian masters. He's very little support in the USA, Britain or Europe. he sells his kiddie stuff in Oz, he's not allowed to do it in Britain, so a restricted market, “It’s also quite rampant in film, and no one seems to give that much consideration.

Child pornography and what Bill Henson does, ban that, and make the UN & FBI happy.

Child pornography and what Bill Henson does, ban that, and make the UN & FBI happy.

I do think Bill’s issues are heading to the UNCRC, he’s been a very naughty boy.

The police *have* been looking for his 'difficult' material in Britain. In other words if he tries it here he gets arrested and he stays arrested. Bill Henson, has a problem, he belongs in a clinic.

Artists while commenting or reflecting on society also push the boundaries as some have commented. There has been little comment however on that of beauty or in fact images themselves. It must be one of the first "art scandals" that actually mentions no particular artwork. It is too easy to pass all the works as one and not really comment on any. Lests look at the context and the works themselves. Lets not react without thinking or with seeing. Full marks for Henson, asking what is beautiful and can if it can shown. The naked and nude have been popular subjects for artists. Can not a naked girl or boy be beautiful? Can not an artist present that interpretation? CAn we not appreciate and reflect before we react?

Its naive to think that there isn't informed consent, its just from a younger person, but no less reasoned. There are consequences in all out decisions. Some regretful. some not. Did Shirley Temple have her 'druthers' later in life? Should ALL commercial enterprises with 'children' AUTOMATICALLY be banned? Depends on how you define ‘child’.

After a decade or more in which children have been increasingly exploited, society is beginning to push back and Bill Henson has been a victim: innocent perhaps, but he should have known better.

I’m glad that the police are getting involved, the guy has obviously got some kind of fasination of children.

Sicko.

I hope you don’t damage your reputation for justifying this pervert Nick!

How can this be art?

As for the childrens mother, she has no right to allow such images to be taken.

It’s all down to shock and money and the art gallery getting publicity.

This is not art, there should be a law against this.

I have my own views on “Freedom of the Artist/creator” This man has time after time broke his freedom.

Pay the price now pervy and leave the art to ‘US’ creators.
