Krátky popis
The story of the nude in art in our times, told by a popular art
historian with a rare gift for sharing her passions and ideas. The
representation of the nude in art remained for many centuries a
victory of fiction over fact. Beautiful, handsome, flawless - its
great success was to distance the unclothed body from any
uncomfortably explicit taint of sexuality, eroticism or
imperfection.In this newly updated study, Frances Borzello
contrasts the civilized, sanitized, perfected nude of Kenneth
Clark's classic, The Nude: A Study in Ideal Form (1956), with
today's depictions: raw, uncomfortable, both disturbing and
intriguing. Grittier and more subtle, depicting variously gendered
bodies, the new nude asks awkward questions and behaves
provocatively. It is a very naked nude, created to deal with the
issues and contradictions that surround the body in our
time.Borzello explores the role of the nude in twentieth- and
twenty-first-century art, looking at the work of a wide range of
international artists creating contemporary nudes. Her fascinating
text is complemented by a profusion of well-chosen, unusual and
beautifully reproduced illustrations. The story begins with a tale
of life, death and resurrection - an investigation into how and why
the nude has survived and flourished in an art world that
prematurely announced its demise.Subsequent chapters take a
thematic approach, focusing in turn on Body art and Performance
art, the new perspectives of women artists, the nude in painting,
portraiture and sculpture and in its most extreme and graphic
expressions that intentionally push the boundaries of both art and
our comfort zone. The final chapter illustrates radical
developments in art and culture over the last decade, focusing in
particular on artworks by women, trans artists and artists of
colour. Borzello links these works to their art-historical and
political predecessors, demonstrating the continually unending
capacity of the nude to disrupt traditional hierarchies and gender
categories in life and art.
