How many of us can let our own daughter to bare her body in front of us as the model for our paintings? Surprisingly, this was happened in a conservative country China; a Chinese artist Li Zhuangping painted his naked daughter Li Qin in his oil painting themed “Oriental Goddess Mountain Spirit Series”.

As expected, this incident has created big controversy in the Chinese media. Li Qin said that she only willing to strip in her father’s oil paintings.

According to Li Qin, she said: “My father was researching on creating an image of an Oriental goddess at that time. He found that I possessed the classical beauty of an Oriental female, so I agreed to do the painting.”

Both the father and daughter explain that this is purely for art and they also granted permission from Li Zhuangping’s wife, Li Qin’s mother.

Whether you agree and support Li Zhuangping and his daughter, let’s take a look on Li’s oil paintings “Oriental Goddess Mountain Spirit Series”.

I will support Li if her daughter is still a kid but if she is an adult or teenager, I don’t buy his idea; maybe I don’t know art, I just know what is moral…
