THE MALE NUDE occupies a dominant place in art from ancient Greece to the modern
day. Adam is a fascinating study by Edward Lucie-Smith, examining the male nude’s complex social, political and sexual contexts as well as its formal value, in every medium including painting, photography and sculpture.
In nine themed chapters, the male nude is presented in its many roles, from the masculine hero to the feminized youth, from the savage to the suffering victim and from idealized beauty to realism. Within this framework, the changing attitude towards the male nude is considered, particularly following the emergence of photography and the subsequent depiction of models as naked rather than nude. Special consideration is given to nudity as subversion, exemplified in the work of avant-garde artists such as Egon Schiele and Jean Rustin and the work of photographer Roberto Rincon.
At a time when men are re-assessing their place in society and looking anew at what it means to be male, this is a timely insight into the depiction of the masculine in art. (Publisher’s Info).
