I suppose that's too bad. There are some fine photographers working
for Playboy, doing some pretty honest art (although I've never seen
Lucien Clerge or Robert Farber or even Robert Mapplethorpe do anything
within those pages...) with the female nude. There's a good article in the
April 1985 American Photographer on Pompeo Posar, 25 year veteran of
shooting Playboy gateways ("centerfolds") -- check it out for an
inside view of playboy "shoots"
