"A richly illustrated and expertly research exploration of
depictions of the nude male body from 1800 to the present. The
starting point of the accompanying exhibition was this question:
why have there been major exhibitions devoted to the female nude
but almost none to the male nude? The fascinating essays, which
redress this lacuna, range from discussions of the development of
an ideal of male nudity in the eighteenth-century through the
writings of Winckelmann to the performance of emasculation in
contemporary art."
