Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As images of men's bodies have proliferated in pop culture and advertising during the past decade, many artists and photographers have taken up the male nude as a primary subject. Recent work has sparked controversy as well as praise for its shocking frankness, and the line between art and pornography has become increasingly difficult to define. New digital technologies have brought about new ways of representing the body, and we are now faced with a multiplicity of eroticisms, previously unexplored channels of desire, and more inclusive and varied body ideals. "Male Nudes Now "offers an essential guide through this new territory with more than 240 fresh and provocative images. Featuring contemporary work, mostly unpublished, this important sourcebook showcases a dynamic mix of visionaries, from established masters to breakthrough newcomers. Feature Artists Include Lyle Ashton Harris Marc Baptiste Clive Barker Cecily Brown Chuck Close John Dugdale Todd Eberle Eric Fischl Nan Goldin Greg Gorman David Hockney Patrick McMullan Duane Michals Pierre et Gilles Jack Pierson Rankin Terry Richardson Michael Roberts Stewart Shining Wolfgang Tillmans George Tooker Ellen von Unwerth

Download or read book Fully Exposed written by Emmanuel Cooper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fully Exposed is a pioneering cultural history of the photography of the male nude which sets the photographer and the model within our cultural and historical perceptions and prejudices. This second edition extends the book's coverage so that the story from the beginnings of the medium to the present day is complete. Fully Exposed is lavishly illustrated with over two hundred and fifty photographs,many of them new to this edition. Different chapters discuss how the male nude has been used by artists, the way it has been treated in the popular press,in relation to British colonialism and scientific ideology. It also discusses `private pictures' taken at home or acquired as erotic material by the private collector. A final chapter brings the book up-to-date and discusses the male nude in the nineties. The combination of art criticism and photographic essay make this an unusual and important book both for academics and the general reader.

Download or read book The Male Nude in Contemporary Photography written by Melody D. Davis and published by . This book was released on 1994-02-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While nude women are a staple of commercial and art photography, the photographed male nude is often the target of censorship but seldom the subject of serious critical discussion. This is the first study to examine the unique interrelation between social perceptions of the nude and the medium of photography. Melody Davis focuses on the work of six artists whose photography confronts societal prohibitions. In order to understand the taboo and silence which surrounds this subject, she addresses the many social and cultural fears that inhibit the presentation and discussion of photographed male nudity. Because she deals with distinctions between the nude and the naked, the interrelational and the pornographic, the book has close connections with current debates about the impact of images and the limits of public tolerance of images of "deviance." Through the photographs of Robert Mapplethorpe, Lucas Samaras, John Coplans, George Dureau, Joel-Peter Witkin, and a film by Dusan Makavejev, the author examines how the action ideal for the male body is challenged by an artistic medium in which man becomes the spectacle, not the spectator. By presenting three of photography's genres—self-portraiture, portraits of others, and allegorical nudes—Davis is able to reveal the critical and theoretical issues which shape our understanding of photographed nudity, and, by extension, representations of gender. Author note:Melody D. Davisis an independent writer and photographer who has taught in the Fine Arts Departments of Montclair State College and State University of New York at Stony Brook.

Download or read book Drawing the Male Nude written by Giovanni Civardi and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giovanni Civardi breaks down the complex process of drawing the male nude, from making rudimentary choices about framing, lighting and the most appropriate drawing tools, to rendering detailed and anatomically accurate artworks. Civardis own masterful drawings provide an excellent touchstone for the artist wanting to explore the depiction of the male body, and his studies of numerous poses cover all aspects of life drawing. Civardi takes a pragmatic, almost scientific, approach to teaching the subject, combining basic physics with artistic interpretation. Drawing the Male Nude also touches upon the significant anatomical differences between the male and the female form, but these are also covered in some detail in the companion to this title, Drawing the Female Nude.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published on occasion of the major Sargent retrospective traveling to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 1999, John Singer Sargent: The Male Nudes brings to light a fascinating portion of Sargent's work long hidden from the public eye. Beginning in his adolescence, and throughout his distinguished career, John Singer Sargent, the celebrated painter of patricians, produced a superbly rendered, uninhibited body of work that was rarely seen and never exhibited: the male nudes. Over the last century, these little-known works have been dispersed to museum archives and private collections throughout the United States and Great Britain. John Esten has unearthed the most extraordinary of these images, ranging from vibrant watercolors and oil paintings to charcoal studies, published here for the first time in a single volume.

Download or read book George Platt Lynes written by Steven Haas and published by Rizzoli International Publications. This book was released on 2011 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The elegant male nude photographs of George Platt Lynes, many never before published, from a newly discovered archive of negatives. George Platt Lynes was the preeminent celebrity portraitist of his day, shooting for Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar and creating distinctive photographs of iconic cultural figures such as Diana Vreeland, Salvador Dalí, and Orson Welles. But he also produced a separate body of work, kept largely hidden during his lifetime: photographs of the male nude. Many of these photos were shot in the studio and, like his fashion and dance work, were painstakingly posed and lit. They have a cinematic allure that evokes 1940s Hollywood and the lost era of New York’s café society. Many seem to illustrate some unwritten mythology. Others reveal private obsessions of the photographer, who was always alert to the sculptural qualities of a young man at his most vital. This is the only Platt Lynes book to focus on the male nude images in a comprehensive and carefully considered manner. It is the first book to be published with the cooperation of the artist’s estate, which has provided unprecedented access to institutional and private collections, including the Kinsey Institute and the Guggenheim Museum. The result: a trove of unpublished images that are sure to cause a sensation.

Book excerpt: This extraordinary book documents a fascinating moment in the history of American culture - a period in the 1930s, '40s and '50s that give birth to a new notion of male beauty and desire, and to a new type of male icon. Long before Stonewall and the gay pride movement, a small group of daring men - photographers and the models who sat for them - helped pave the way for male sexual liberation. Led by the photographer George Platt Lynes and featuring men such as Jean Marais, Yul Brynner, Paul Cadmus and Tennessee Williams, this group of men - straight as well as gay - shattered taboos surrounding the artistic representations of the male figure. Their ground-breaking work remains as relevant and evocative today as it did half a century ago and its influence can be seen in the work of modern masters such as Bruce Weber, Herb Ritts and Robert Mapplethorpe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Painting in eighteenth century France was centered on the Acad©♭mie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in Paris, where the drawing of the male human figure was at the core of the curriculum. Only after mastering the copying of drawings and engravings, and then casts of antique sculptures, would the student be allowed to progress to drawing the nude figure in the life class. Made by the finest artists of the time, competing to show off their virtuosity, these 'academies', as they were known, are essential to the history of French art. Accompanying an exhibition at the Wallace Collection, this publication includes remarkable drawings by Rigaud, Boucher, Nattier, Pierre, Carle van Loo, Gros and Jean-Baptiste Isabey. All the drawings have been generously lent by the ©9cole nationale sup©♭rieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris."--Page 4 de la couverture.

Book excerpt: Man is a stunning collection of photographs to celebrate all that is beautiful in the male naked body. Four leading photographers - Trevor Watson, Tony Butcher, Za-Hazzanani, and Toni Catany - have contributed to this volume, each bringing an individual style to their subject, but all expressing pleasure in the physical symmetry, joyful sexuality, and quintessential maleness of their subjects. The female nude has long been accepted - even revered - in the art world and culture at large, an acceptance that the male nude has rarely enjoyed. Once the dominant ideal for the ancient Greeks and artists of the Italian Renaissance, images of the male nude have since been regarded as carrying a cultural burden. man - and the artists whose work is showcased herein - seeks to redress the balance with this superb collection of frank and honest images of the male nude for the enjoyment of all.
