A Lovely Bush
I suppose the most famous example of pubic hair in art (which I certainly did not remember and I suspect it slipped Kate’s mind as well) can be seen on Michelangelo’s (1475-1564) David (1504, marble, Galleria dell’Accademia, Florence). I can’t believe I forgot about his beautiful wavy pubes. I mean, his are arguably not only the most famous pubes in the world, but he himself is the probably the most famous male nude ever produced.
Shame on us, Kate :)

Leonardo da Vinci's perfectly proportioned Vitruvian man drawing (which is at the center of my tattoo back piece) also has pubic hair, though not in great detail. The Renaissance did not share the Medieval age's shame concerning the human body, and so many of the Renaissance painters and sculptors were homosexual that the male body in all its beauty returned triumphantly as a valid subject in art.
