Sobre este artículo
Throughout the history of the Western world, countless attempts have been made to define beauty in art and life. This text examines concepts of female beauty in terms of the ideal and the real, investigating paradigms of beauty as represented in art and literature and how beauty has been enhanced by cosmetics and hairstyles. It discusses the shifting perceptions of female beauty, focussing on the period from around 1540 to 1940. 371 pages : illustrations (chiefly color), portraits ; 29 cm. First edition, first printing. Red boards, unclipped dust jacket (now in a removable protective sleeve). Slight shelf wear to edges, no inscriptions, tight and square binding. Photographs available on request. All books dispatched same or next working day in robust packaging.
