The Naked Nude by Frances Borzello

Sale price¥4,300

The representation of the nude in art has remained for centuries a triumph of fiction over fact: the creation of the perfect motif - beautiful, handsome and flawless - allowed the naked body to distance itself from sexuality, eroticism and the impression of imperfection and taint.
In The Nude: A Study in Ideal Form, art historian Francis Borzello compares Kenneth Clark's classic 1956 book, "The Perfect Nude," with contemporary depictions of the nude, and explores the role of nudity in 20th- and 21st-century art, examining contemporary nudity through the work of a wide range of international artists.
