Unenlightened

Because of my post on the amazing Mochica art, some unenlightened people banned my blog from online catalogues for being "pornographic." Now I feel like I need to add even more indecent images:

If we recognize Goya, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Morisot, and Botticelli as art (and not pornography), then why shouldn't we extend the same courtesy to the Mochicas?
