In sure historical periods , such as in Ancient Greece , it seemed that no artist could work without receiving the feedback " hmm , it ’s good , but could it be better if they had their genitals out ? "

Then there are other metre when artists pushed the boundaries of acceptability . Either way , the outcome was the same : museums are crammed to the rim with statue and house painting of people in the nude statue . This is a job when museum sample and deal the work on social media with very strict " no nakedness " rule .

The Vienna Tourist Board , tire with   hold content taken downby Facebook , Instagram , and TikTok , has make up one’s mind to go with the obvious answer : starting their own OnlyFans page .

" Right now , an algorithm determines what is okay to see and what is not , " spokesperson for the Vienna Tourist Board , Helena Hartlauer , told NBC News . " And it definitely should not find out our ethnical legacy . "

" Over the years , Vienna has been home to some of the world ’s most far-famed artists – admit Egon Schiele and Koloman Moser , whose works pushed the boundary of what was think satisfactory in artistry and high society at the clock time , " the museumwroteof their decision to bring together the site , which has become synonymous with paying to see nakedness .

" And the battle against censorship still bedevil on : with the rise of social metier , forbidding like these are back in headline once again . Major social media channel like Instagram and Facebook have nudeness and ' lewd ' content firmly in their sights . "

On theirOnlyFans page , you’re able to see painting from   Two Squatting Women by Egon Schiele to the married woman of   Peter Paul Rubens , Helena   Fourment , getting out of the bath .

As well as being a clever way to draw attention to their exhibits , and to post images of them without getting tell off by Mark Zuckerberg , the estimate is to get people talking about modern - day censorship on societal medium .

" We ’ve decided to endeavor to commence a conversation about this topic because we thought it ’s very Vienna , "   Hartlauer told NBC News . " Because Vienna has always been a very open minded metropolis . We trust it ’s authoritative for Vienna mental institution in general to have some blank for different mind , and we ’re not afraid of the naked truth . "
