    The same scene, painted in the same period, by a woman, Henrietta R. Rae, who, according to Christie's, 'saw herself primarily as a painter of classical themes with a strong emphasis on the female nude.'

    . Defining this 'an artistic act' doesn't disguise its authoritarian moralising as part of a rapidly spreading censorship championed by an increasingly puritanical, hectoring and intolerant feminism. It's dangerous and a long way from the feminism I grew up with.

    I’m in favor of removing from her job. It will “start a conversation”.

    Hello. Feminism never ever censored any piece of art. Fascism did. Bye.

    Sonia Boyce is a phenomenal artist, by the way. there's something distasteful in the suggestion that she has to stage a "takeover" of the gallery to get her work recognized/displayed.

    The removal of a painting is not an artistic act anymore than burning a book is a literary one.

    "The removal itself is an artistic act and will feature in a solo show by the artist Sonia Boyce which opens in March." < Complete nonsense. Activism ≠ art.

    I REALLY hope that all the support that people on are showing for the Waterhouse will extend to support for funding public museums. It’s difficult to see how there will be any public museums at all in ten years at the current rate of cuts.

    Another thing: if you look at #, this debate has been hijacked by anti-feminist, Islamophobic & even pro-Confederate accounts who are interpreting it as some sort of 'feminazi' censorship of art. It's effectively stirred up division, all for some cheap publicity.

    This is bullshit. Not only ridiculous & completely ahistorical, but actually borderline offensive to conflate this cheap publicity stunt with important debates. Gallery removes naked nymphs painting to 'prompt conversation'

    the whole conversation around the removal of the Waterhouse painting is really becoming an artistic act. It has trully taken trolling to artistic levels.

    I am thinking of lots of my favourites to add to this.

    Sonia Boyce's Devotional Collection is an archive of over 300 black female British performers. We've started a Spotify playlist to accompany the archive.

    It’s very difficult to react, consider and discuss something that someone else has decided that you’re not allowed to see. Censorship kills informed debate.

    Surely Hylas and the Nymphs are in public ownership, why deny the public of seeing what they own? If you don't want it on your walls why not lend it out to another gallery? Maybe a better debate would be why is so much public owned art hidden from view?

    and they seem to be using Sonia Boyce as a shield, here. who made the decision to remove the painting? whose position is it that pulling another artist's work off a wall is art in and of itself?

    Should J.W. Waterhouse's 1896 erotic fantasy of pubescent nymphs have been removed from Manchester Art Gallery? How can and its visitors contextualise this painting in our present moment? Join the debate by using .
