Multi faceted Feminist perspective on the nude in art
This is an interesting book because of the diverse points of view it presents about the female nude in art and how different artists and scholars think about the nude. There is a lot of diverse perspectives on the female nude in femininist circles from anything goes to discomfort about female nudity. Those perspectives are presented in this well written book and I found the artists, the art and the viewpoints interesting. Again and again the author talks about the how the role of ambiguity is part of the nude in art regardless of who made the art and who is looking at the art.The last chapter of this book went off into weirdness for me but so what? Most of the book is interesting and compelling.
