^{Catherine Pogonat poses nude in a promotional calendar for ArtTV. The original doesn’t have the black bars, I put those in, because, well, I’m a prude.}

Catherine Pogonat, a host on ArtTV, a french specialty channel that Radio-Canada is a partner in, has posed nude for a promotional calendar.

The pictures have been the talk of the town in Montreal. Pogonat’s nude photograph appears for the month of April, under the theme “Audacity”. She wasn’t available to comment on the pictures, but her photographer, Jocelyn Michel said during the shoot “when I think of all of the big photographers, like Annie Leibovitz, Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, all those guys, they’ve done tons of these, and they’ve always done it with lots of class.”

“I don’t know if the day they came out if there was a scandal, but with time people certainly learned to appreciate them. So I hope [these] will survive the test of time.”

Some of the other photographs in the calendar are below. These two are are for the letters T & A,  T for “Trouver” (which means “Found” in french) and A for “Actuality”. In the calender the themed letters makes up the channel name “ArtTV”. The entire set of 12 photographs is on a Flickr site here.
