What an Absolutely Wonderful idea!!
Maybe it’s the context of the nudity is different? There is a lot of nudity that I don’t like…eg sexualised, brazen but there is nudity that in a natural context I don’t have a problem with. In ancient Sparta nudity was the norm, the first Olympic Games were in the nude, etc. it was a noble thing. Many modern depictions are for shock value, notoriety and thereby accelerated fame rather than talent or substance. Thank you for your review 👍🏻
Could be contextual. Or it could even be that modern depictions of nudity in art are reminiscent to you of sexualized commercialization of nudity rather than the beauty of the nude form as a work of art.
The teachers at the school help the students to understand and apply the concepts that they learn in the classroom. The school also has a well-equipped library where students can access a range of books for their studies.
"This is an incredible resource for anyone interested in art history. The selection of artists is vast and diverse."
"I love the format of this book – each artist gets a concise and informative page with a key artwork."
"Phaidon Press has done an amazing job curating such a wide range of artistic talent in one volume."
