nude
(redirected from nude painting)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Hutchinson 0.04 sec.
nude
1. Law
a. lacking some essential legal requirement, esp supporting evidence
b. (of a contract, agreement, etc.) made without consideration and void unless under seal
2. a naked figure, esp in painting, sculpture, etc.
nude - Said of machines delivered without an operating system (compare bare metal). "We ordered 50 systems, but they all arrived nude, so we had to spend a an extra weekend with the installation tapes." This usage is a recent innovation reflecting the fact that most PC clones are now delivered with DOS or Microsoft Windows pre-installed at the factory. Other kinds of hardware are still normally delivered without OS, so this term is particular to PC support groups.

If we pair Crucifix in the Snow, 1996, an ink drawing of a snow-covered landscape and dark wooden shrine put up to protect the crucifix, with Nude Painting, 1997, the ruddy photo-painting of a heavyish, big-breasted young woman caught in a moment of ecstasy, we see the horns of Levenstein's dilemma.
