Abstract
A short description of recent censorship on depicting children
in the nude. Special mention is made of the starting point of
this censorship wave: the creation of the Meese Commission on
Pornography - which has led to a dramatic increase of child porn
prosecutions, but which has created an environment 'in which the
police surveillance extends its bounds to enter the art world'
charging photographers with 'child-pornography', 'sexual
exploitation of children', 'corruptin a minor'. The authors call
upon artists, curators, archivists and collectors to become
polically active.
