I love this book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is a very simple book, a collection of paintings of reclining female nudes from around 1500 when the genre first appeared to the present. There is very little text. The selection of images is what makes it work. This is a wonderful book for an artist interested in the human and female form and its exploration from an historical point of view.
A gentle view of the nude

This book demonstrates the way in which different artist "see" their subject and represent it. A good discussion tool for art class.
