Throughout his career, Warhol produced erotic photography and drawings of male nudes. His subjects included portraits, artistic nudes, and landscapes. The contemporary Spanish attitude toward paintings of nudes was unique in Europe. He also made several intimate nudes and portraits of Modotti. The earliest of these paintings are a series of allegorical nudes. He specialized in female nudes and mythological, oriental and fantasy settings. These works inspired countless reclining female nudes for centuries afterwards. David is presented uncircumcised, which is customary for male nudes in Italian Renaissance art. Nevertheless, Michelangelo's male nudes on the Sistine Chapel ceiling display no pubic hair. Orientalizing paintings of nudes were also sometimes exhibited as "Circassians". Early photographers often selected poses that imitated the classical nudes of the past. Other frequent subjects include female nudes and mothers with children. He began taking close-up nudes of Noskowiak and other models. This is most easily visible in paintings of nudes from the time. This painting was praised for its use of multiple male nudes in active poses.
