vintage (books and mags)

Images of the classical female figure are more prevalent in the contemporary figurative art world, as the nude male has been shunned as too potent or treated as a sex symbol. This book bravely showcases works by male and female artists (many of them are in these pages) from around the world and focuses on this classic subject. Painting, drawings, and sculptures display broad and varied styles, including portraiture, studies, Pop Art, abstract, and photorealism in nearly 400 works which capture masculine beauty. An important and unique book published by Schiffer Publishing in Spring 2011, written by Eric Gibbons, 224 pages, 8.5x11 size, $50.00.
