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