CLEVELAND, United States — American photographer Spencer Tunick merged nudity and politics in a dramatic way Sunday in his latest work, posing 100 unclothed women for a shoot in sight of the Republican National Convention. The women stripped down to their bare and often tattooed skin early Sunday and were seen snapping selfies with each other. The artist is well known for his sometimes startling images of nude people. “I think every artist in the United States should make an artwork before the election and get it out there.”Size-wise, the artwork was a far cry from Tunick’s most recent effort, in Colombia in June. “There shouldn’t be a rhetoric of hate in a presidential election,” Tunick, 49, told AFP last month, speaking of the billionaire tycoon’s virulent diatribes against Mexicans, Arabs and women journalists, among others.
