The human form is potentially the most awe-inspiring and meaningful subject that we can photograph. Let us go beyond merely judging nude works for their erotic value and delight in the beauty of the subject. Birds have feathers and mammals sport fur, but human bodies give us glimpses of the workings of the extraordinary natural machine that carries us through our everyday. In skilled hands the nude tells human stories with all the drama and poignancy they bring. This book celebrates these stories as created by the greatest minds in the history of art and photography.
