Sobre este artículo
London : Weidenfeld & Nicholson , 1998. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Good Condition/Good. A4 (300 x 210mm approx.). Binding is tight but spine is slightly cocked. Text body is clean and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting No foxing in this copy Edges all neat and clean Boards have some edge wear and bumped corners and some slight fading on top edge of boards dam reveals a history of the male in art of every medium. This book shows how the heroic nude traversed the centuries from ancient Rome to the "peplum" movies of the 1950s, how a tamer, feminized male made his appearance in the flirtatious paintings of the French rococo, how the Christian shame of nudity was overcome in representations of the crucifixion or images of martyrdom, and how the baroque artists exaggerated male characteristics to create super-males.
Work of artists as diverse as Leonardo Fragonard, Beardsley, Nadar and Weber - and the historic contributions of men from David Bowie to Arnold Schwartzenegger to the Nuba warrior - combine to make Adam a fascinating and entertaining trip through the history of art and sexuality. Colour photos, illustrations and B & W photos
