Social media company Instagram pulled photos by U.S. photographer Imogen Cunningham promoting an exhibit at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, saying they violated decency standards, even as parent company Facebook Inc faces criticism for users’ live videos of murder.At issue were posts of 1920s black-and-white photos by Cunningham depicting close-ups of a naked women’s torso, whoch turn the body into an almost abstract shape, and a 1974 photo of Cunningham at the age of 91 gazing around a tree trunk at one of her favorite models, who is shown nude.”This startled us,” Karen Haas, the museum’s curator of photographs, said in a phone interview on Wednesday. ”Here is this artist who has been dead for a long time, who had this seven-decade career, who fought the fight to have photography considered as fine art along with her contemporaries so long ago, and we felt this fight was long since over.”
