These titillating films were supposedly made for aspiring artists (who could not afford life models for their studios) to get a look at the bare human form in motion. Of course, most of the customers who bought these films were not artists! The first part of this “art study“ film looks at a woman going through different motions repeatedly which she then later does in the buff, while artists paint her. It then shows a woman on the beach doing gymnastics motions. It ends with the “Featurette” which looks at a short story of a man and woman falling for each other after they both find each other naked in the woods and look for the woman’s clothes, which have hilariously been stolen by an amateur detective. 0:10 Title “Cine Art Featurette Arts Studies as posed for the Miami Art Class”, 0:18 Text “Producers Note”, 0:32 a women repeating the same motion as male and female artists paint her, 1:26 a different women picks up a piece of cloth behind her that flutters in the wind and completes different motions with it as she is being painted by an array of artists, 2:15 the same woman continues with the different motions while being painted but now naked, 3:16 the naked women does different poses next to decorated columns, 3:59 the naked woman show from behind as she does different poses with the artists in the background, 6:01 a woman in a swimsuit at the beach surrounded by three other women as she does different skillful gymnastic poses, 7:11 woman in a swimsuit doing poses in the water with a sunset as backdrop, 7:27 Title “Sally’s Sun Bath”, 7:34 Group of women lining up with letters to spell out “Cine Art Featurettes” 7:38 Woman reading a magazine walking along a sandy area, 7:57 zoom in on a newspaper fragment about the healing qualities of sun bathing, 8:13 a man in a suit walks along the same area and stops to do gymnastics exercises, 8:33 the woman undresses behind a bush, 8:54 the naked woman happily does some stretches and then lies down on the ground, 9:06 the man takes out a raw carrot and raw potato and starts eating them simultaneously, 9:27 man begins undressing himself, 10:02 a man that looks like a detective stumbles through the bushes reading a book on how to become a detective, 10:54 the detective puts on a fake beard and finds the clothes of the woman that undressed and takes them, 11:18 the man that undressed is dancing around the woods and finds the naked woman which shocks both, 11:54 the woman looks for her clothes but can’t find them and screams for help, 12:12 she asks the undressed man for help who runs to giver her his clothes, 12:52 they both stand together wearing his clothes and begin looking, 13:12 they find the detective looking through the woman’s clothes who is now also holding a gun, 13:30 they pull the detective’s hat down and take her clothes back, 13:40 the woman puts her clothes back on, 14:18 the man and the woman walk together arm in arm laughing over their shared experience.
