The toxic energy we live in cannot be sustained. Energy like this can never last. It builds until it explodes. I have no idea how it will explode, but it will.

In 1902, Edvard Munch began experimenting with photography, becoming one of the first to take nude selfies, long before smartphones. His intimate images weren’t about vanity but about exploring the body & the freedom of nudity. #art #gay #lgbtq #history #photography #nude #nudist #nudiste #male #men

Munch embraced naturism, celebrating the body, sunlight, and nature as sources of vitality & spirit. Frequently visiting where men swam or relaxed naked outdoors, he painted scenes that echoed early “free body culture” ideals later linked to modern nudism. #gay #art #history #nude #nudist #male #men

Edvard Munch (1863–1944), best known for his painting "The Scream", also produced a striking body of work depicting nude males. These works reveal a different side of his psychological and emotional concerns, distinct from his more famous images of anxiety & isolation. #gay #art #nude #male #men

NEW LOCATION TODAY! Today we are hosting at our original location in North Dallas. If you’re still interested in attending, DM or email me at [email protected] for directions.

Get naked. Make art. Saturday Nov 8: Join Salon Naturale’s Nude Art Salon for queer men/trans men. Try “Masculine Mapping”—trace relaxed nude silhouettes and fill them with color, story, autumn energy. RSVP: salonnaturale.art #NudeArt #QueerJoy #BodyLiberation #DallasArt

Final reminder for Nov 8: a queer‑affirming, non‑sexual space to draw, be seen, and connect through art.

No art experience needed; boundaries are affirmed, and consent guides every interaction. DM for access details after RSVP

Bring a towel, leave the phone, bring respect: naturist etiquette keeps everyone safe and at ease. “Get Naked! Make Art!”.
