Celebrated by artists in Classical and Renaissance times, but ignored in recent centuries, the strength and beauty of the male body is rediscovered here by the world?s greatest photographers. The images in this collection have been selected for their visual and historical impact, and provide an authoritative survey of the male nude from 1850 to the present day. Includes photographs from around the world and from many different categories (sports and dance, fashion and advertising, contemporary art and erotica) and work from some of the world?s most famous artists including David Hockney, Robert Mapplethorpe, Pierre et Gilles, Man Ray and Andy Warhol. An essential volume for all those who admire the art of photography and appreciate the beauty of the naked male form.
