Описание: The search for physical perfection began with the Greeks, who first competed nude in athletic games in the 8th century BCE and created their gods in the ideal human form. Peak of Perfection celebrates the universal fascination with the nude and the power of beauty. The richly detailed, black and white, fine art photographs portray the apex of youthful vitality and the sublime architecture of the body. Alternately meditative and exhilarating, these dynamic performers express their sensuality and acrobatic skills so dramatically that the images leap off the page and grab you by the heart. Couples express the passion of romantic love and soloists display their virtuosity, the result of countless hours of training. Meticulously selected quotes from poets, artists, and philosophers throughout history complement the intimate portraits. This deluxe collection is a compelling invitation to contemplate beauty and to share with someone you love.

Описание: This volume presents a selection of 200 extraordinary images that reflect the central role played by the genre of the nude in the history of photography. Ever since the invention of photography in 1839 the nude has constituted a favorite subject among the practitioners of the medium. The development of photography in the first half of the 20th century ran in parallel to the evolution of the various creative movements in other artistic media: painting, sculpture and drawing. Dadaism, surrealism, futurism, constructivism and above all the Neue Sachlichkeit movement all found a congenial means of expression in photography that could be used alongside painting. In the second half of the 20th century, artists working with the medium of photography responded to the ever more insistent use of the nude in marketing, in advertising and in public life in general by adopting conceptual positions. Photographers sought, with growing intensity, to come up with new strategies: from the investigation and creation of the image itself to the use of blowups to produce pictures reminiscent of paintings and the combination of image and text: strategies that have led to an ever closer and more indissoluble interweaving of photography with painting and vice versa. Through numerous extraordinary examples the volume documents the historical and stylistic development of the nude from its origins with the first daguerreotypes to the provocative images of contemporary photographers from Nadar, Stieglitz, Man Ray and Weston to Arbus, Mapplethorpe, Araki and Goldin.

Описание: The evolution of the genre of the nude in art illustrated through 200 important works by major artists from the 19th century to the present. The theme of the nude has always exercised a particular fascination on artists and viewers alike, and the representation of the human form has inspired some of the finest works in art history. One of the most challenging and stimulating subjects in the entire artistic tradition, the nude did not lose its allure even in the period in which art began to move in a different direction to that of the imitation of reality. In fact it showed an unexpected versatility and an undimmed power of suggestion even at the moments of greatest conflict with any traditional hypothesis of figuration, as at the time when nonrepresentational art reigned supreme. This volume, which aims to offer a fascinating visual survey of the nude, features over 200 paintings, sculptures and drawings - often celebrated masterpieces - and examines a period spanning over two hundred years. The book features works by the most important artists of the last two centuries beginning with neoclassical artists such as Canova and Ingres. Next it examines the whole of the 19th century, from Courbet to Cezanne, from romanticism to impressionism. It then moves on to the elegance of the Secession with Klimt, the revolution of the avant-garde with Picasso and all the movements from surrealism to existentialism, with works by Magritte, Dalf and Giacometti. Finally, it covers the second half of the last century up until the present day with artists such as Bourgeois, Gormley, Abramovic, Acconci, Beecroft, and Barney.

Описание: A richly illustrated and extremely enjoyable reference book on the historical evolution of the nude. From the Palaeolithic Great Mothers to the Greek athletes, from the Venus of Urbino by Titian to Leonardos Virtuvian Man, from the Odalisque by Boucher to those by Ingres, to the amazons of Helmut Newton and the desolate lifeless bodies of Andres Serrano, the nude is the theme of artistic representation par excellence. The nude body as the incarnation of perfect beauty and the suspicions concerning its sensuality imposed by Christian culture; the renewed triumph of ancient beauty in the Renaissance and the study of anatomy; the visual licentiousness of the 18th century and the photographic nude; ideal beauty, eroticism, pornography; the nude also as representation of the ugly and its flaunted truthfulness in the art of the 20th century; the nude that itself becomes a work of art in the avant-garde of the post-WWII period, with performance, body art and experimental theatre. These are the threads of the narration all conducted around a rich apparatus of images. After Art of the Twentieth Century, published by Skira in four languages in 2009, Flaminio Gualdoni has now created a richly illustrated new reference book that is also extremely enjoyable to read.
Автор: Borzello, Frances Название: The Naked Nude ISBN: 0500238928 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780500238929 Издательство: Thames & Hudson Рейтинг: Цена: 4077 р. Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ.
Описание: Borzello explores the role of the nude in 20th- and 21st-century art, looking at the work of a wide range of international artists creating contemporary nudes. Her fascinating text is complemented by a profusion of well-chosen, unusual and beautifully reproduced illustrations. The story begins with a tale of life, death and resurrection – an investigation into how and why the nude has survived and flourished in an art world that prematurely announced its demise. Subsequent chapters take a thematic approach, focusing in turn on Body art and Performance art, the new perspectives of women artists, the nude in painting, portraiture and sculpture and in its most extreme and graphic expressions that intentionally push the boundaries of both art and our comfort zone.
