An Elegant Showcase of Male Nudes! - By: Jack Gilbert, 22 Sep 2004
Covering a century & a half, many of the alll-time great visionaries of the artistic male nude are featured in this epic volume. It features both famous photographers & those who might be considered a bit more obscure. But the overalll vision is absolutely inspiring. Alongside each body of work from each respective photographer is a detailed & scholarly history which illuminates the life & times & work of that particular artist. It's a fascinating read & will provide students & fans of the genre with a thoroughly engaging & insightful examination. This is not a cheesy potpourri of naked men on parade, but is more of a serious, thoughtful, & intelligent study. Many of the photos are considered to be extremely rare & even longtime fans will find numerous surprises inside. If an erudite & eclectic landscape of male nudes from such varied talents as Nan Goldin, Joel-Peter Witkin, Annie Leibovitz, & Tony Butcher is what you're after, there is no better choice than Male Bodies.
