The Body: Photoworks of the Human Form
The sensual curve of the hip. The disturbing pucker of a scar. The magnetic pull of the lashed eye. In this book, William A. Ewing presents an archive of over 360 photographic images of the body — beautiful, bizarre, sometimes brutally revealing — reflecting many years research and selection in museums, libraries and private collections throughout North America, Europe and Japan. Photography has intensified our obsessive attraction to images of the body for at least 150 years. This book reveals a long tradition of photographing the nude, looking at the many different ways it has been depicted in the photographer’s art: the full figure nude; the body in fragments; the body as an object of sexual desire and in the realm of dream, fantasy and obsession.
