Description
Seeing Through Clothes explores how Western art has represented the body and clothing over time. From ancient Greek sculpture to contemporary fashion photography, Anne Hollander examines the ways in which artists have depicted the human form.
The book spans centuries of artistic expression, covering medieval portraits, Renaissance masterpieces, and modern films. With a focus on the cultural significance of these representations, Hollander sheds light on how clothing has been used as a means of self-expression and social commentary.
