Description
The Female Nude: Art, Obscenity and Sexuality by Lynda Nead A critical examination of the female nude in Western art from a feminist perspective. This book explores how images of the female body are produced, including those that are considered acceptable and unacceptable. Drawing on examples of art and artists from the classical period to the 1980s, it reveals the ways in which the female body has been depicted and contained throughout history. The Female Nude paints a devastating picture of the depiction of the female body, highlighting both the enlightened and the obscene. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Preface by the author, offering fresh insights into this important topic. This book remains as relevant today as it was at its first publication, providing a thought-provoking analysis of the representation of women in art.
