Description
Book SynopsisFrom the art of the Greeks to that of Renoir and Moore, this work surveys the ever-changing fashions in what has constituted the ideal nude as a basis of humanist form.
Trade Review"Probably no one else alive today writes about art with Sir Kenneth Clark’s precise combination of intelligence, urbanity, and erudition, and certainly his talent has nowhere been better applied than in this volume. . . . This is an important book and a fascinating one." * The New Yorker *
"A book which is as much a pleasure to read as it is informative and provocative. . . . [Clark's] command of the English language is rivaled only by the breadth of his curiosity and the sharpness of his visual memory." * New York Times *
"[
The Nude] is delightfully written." * Times Literary Supplement *
