Book excerpt: In our enlightened modern world which celebrates multicultural diversity it is not too much to ask to have complete freedom of dress for reasons of religion, culture and personal belief. The World Naked Bike Rides have shown that this celebration of diversity has indeed extended, at least in part, to embrace social nudity in the UK and in many other Western countries. The author's personal experience of these rides and the reactions of others towards social nudity in settings outside of the traditional naturist clubs has resulted in this exploration of the whole issue, presented here in the hope that others may come to understand better what many find to be an uplifting and affirming way of life. This work discusses being nude in a social setting. The author shows why people choose to live at least part of their lives without clothes, that doing so is very enjoyable and that it offers a number of valuable benefits. The author also demonstrates how one can cultivate this freedom from pressure to conform in daily life.

Book excerpt: The work in this book is drawn from a project which famous cinematographer Peter Suschitzky has been working on for the past seven years, on and off between his activities in the movies industry. Suschitzky decided to take up this project after years and years of photographing life all over the world. He wanted a to find a theme which he could work on at home and in his own time. He knew that it would be hard to do anything original with the theme that he had chosen, as so many painters and photographers, great and small, have worked on this subject before him. Nevertheless he felt that he had to put his own imprint on the subject. The result is this gorgeous book, which also includes a small but extremely fine selection of Suschitzky's most important other work.
Download or read book The Reclining Nude written by Emma Wilson and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-19 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, a sensuous evocation of images of the reclining nude, claims a female-identified pleasure in looking. Agnès Varda, Catherine Breillat, and Nan Goldin are re-imagining images of female beauty, display, (auto)eroticism, and intimacy. The reclining nude is compelling, for female-identified artists in the ethically adventurous, politically complex feminist issues it engages.
Download or read book The Naked Gaze written by Carlos Rojas and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study of visuality in early modern and modern China. Its focus, however, is not so much on imagery per se but rather on how vision itself has been conceived, imagined, and deployed in a variety of discursive contexts. Of particular interest is how these discourses of vision have been used to articulate issues of gender and desire, and specifically processes of gendered subject formation. Through detailed readings of narrative works by eight authors of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries—ranging from the canonical to the popular to the esoteric—the study identifies three distinct constellations of visual concerns corresponding to the late imperial, mid-twentieth century, and contemporary periods, respectively. At the same time, however, it argues that those historical periodizations themselves do not reflect a smooth, unidirectional temporal movement; rather, they are the result of a complex process of retrospection and anticipatory projection. The goal of this volume is to use a focus on tropes of visuality and gender to reflect on shifting understandings of the significance of Chineseness, modernity, and Chinese modernity.
Download or read book On the Nude written by Nicholas Chare and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book provides a timely reappraisal of one of the most enduring subjects in the history of art - the naked body. Beginning with reflections on what denuding entails and means, the volume then shifts to a consideration of body politics in the context of Black political empowerment, disability, and queer and Indigenous politics of representation. Themes including the animal nude, the male nude, and nudity in childhood are also considered. The final section examines the nude from the perspective of the artist and the artist's model. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, comparative literature, cultural studies, gender studies, queer studies, screen studies, and trans studies"--

Download or read book Bluest Nude written by Ama Codjoe and published by Milkweed Editions. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ama Codjoe’s highly anticipated debut collection brings generous light to the inner dialogues of women as they bathe, create art, make and lose love. Each poem rises with the urgency of a fully awakened sensual life. Codjoe’s poems explore how the archetype of the artist complicates the typical expectations of women: be gazed upon, be silent, be selfless, reproduce. Dialoguing with and through art, Bluest Nude considers alternative ways of holding and constructing the self. From Lorna Simpson to Gwendolyn Brooks to Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, contemporary and ancestral artists populate Bluest Nude in a choreography of Codjoe’s making. Precise and halting, this finely wrought, riveting collection is marked by an acute rendering of highly charged emotional spaces. Purposefully shifting between the role of artist and subject, seer and seen, Codjoe’s poems ask what the act of looking does to a person—public looking, private looking, and that most intimate, singular spectacle of looking at one’s self. What does it mean to see while being seen? In poems that illuminate the tension between the possibilities of openness and and its impediments, Bluest Nude offers vulnerability as a medium to be immersed in and, ultimately, shared as a kind of power: “There are as many walls inside me / as there are bones at the bottom of the sea,” Codjoe writes in the masterful titular poem. “I want to be seen clearly or not at all.” “The end of the world has ended,” Codjoe’s speaker announces, “and desire is still / all I crave.” Startling and seductive in equal measure, this formally ambitious collection represents a powerful, luminous beginning.

Download or read book The Devil at the Fair written by Thomas H. Kennedy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Devil at the Fair: Or Reflections on Nude Art To "boost" our glorious Fair, is the duty of every loyal citizen. Its intelligent and generous directors, having "gone the limit" to make an Exposition of surpassing grandeur, everybody should get in line behind the band-wagon and cheer. All the buildings are profusely embellished, but some of the decorations reveal amazing taste... Stuck on columns, fountains, pedestals and panels, all around the Fair, are many large nude human statues, modeled true to nature and astonishingly free from timid or prudish concealment of things usually covered with fig leaves or breechclouts. The figures are grand and inspiring spectacles, calculated to arouse great religious enthusiasm in ordinary observers but the statues of Angels, also shown stripped Stark Naked, with spreading wings and exposing conspicuous sexual objects, are certainly ne plus ultra embellishment which may cause pious visitors and the clergy to glow with enthusiastic pride, and sing peans for the Fair directors and their exalted ideals. With "naked truth" it is a startling advertisement for Western morality, also jocosely appreciated by tenderloin habitues, and curiously edifying for innocent children. Considering that the wise and zealous officials expended a stupendous fortune for this chaste and beautiful feature, all should cheerfully assist in giving deserved notoriety to Art of such transcendent gracefulness and purity.
