Male Bodies: A Photographic History of the Nude

Rating:
Summary: Almost 150 color photos
Review: Male Bodies is Emmanuel Cooper's photographic history of the male nude and holds almost 150 color photos and a documentation of over a century of male nude works by such masters as Edward Weston, Imogen Cunningham, Andy Warhol and more. Much more than just a coffee table collection of images, each full-page set of nudes is accompanied by a biographical sketch of the artist involved, and the history and relevance of his/her work to the evolution of modern male nude representation. The chronological arrangement of Male Bodies makes for an outstanding selection.
