Book Description
"Written by the renowned author, art collector and critic John Brophy, this book provides a penetrating, comparative study of the nude in Western art, and the way artists throughout history have depicted the face in relation to the naked human body. In over 23,000 words, Mr. Brophy explores the ever-changing relationship between the nude and the portrayal of faces in each period, from the Archaic and Classical epochs through the Renaissance, from the Baroque and Rococo periods to the Impressionists, the Post-Impressionists and beyond." -- From jacket flap.
