Book Reviews of The Nude Male: A New Perspective
Book Review: Fresh insights into sexual attitudes.
Summary: 5 Stars
--------------------------
Examination of the Art of the Western world - from Apollo to male pin ups.
We know a great deal about the male vision of the female and very little of women's views of the human body, either male or female.
Western Art, like the whole of our culture, has been created from a male point of view.
The nude in art is not the same as a mere naked body.
"For some people, nakedness signifies liberation, a joyful and un-neruotic sexuality; for others, it stands for a licentiousness which threatens traditional moral standards. Both of these seemingly contradictory attitudes rest on a common assumption: that the exposed body is emotionally charged and potentially subversive."
--Margaret Walters
