Nude Art
Immediate Family
Sally Mann
Sally Mann is a really powerful artist. I am a very good photographer myself, and the photographic artists that I truly admire can be counted on a hand or two. Sally is in there.
This book is about her children, and about childhood.
There is a lot of nudity in this big black-and-white photographic art book. Mann's family lives in Georgia, and the summers are very hot and humid.
The Age of Innocence
David Hamilton
Photography, black-and-white.
The delicate beauty of girls. What more do you need to know?
David Hamilton is the man when it comes to this area, and has been for decades.
The Last Day of Summer
Jock Sturges
Jock Sturges takes pictures on nude beaches and so on. He has been compared to Sally Mann, which probably makes him proud. His pictures look more arranged than Sally's but are in fact much less arranged (Sally Mann works hard to make her pictures seem NOT arranged).
Twentieth-Century Erotic Art
Gilles Néret
A big book about fine art with nude and erotic themes. Much of it is somewhat abstract, so don't buy it if you "don't understand modern art". A fine and interesting selection of art from this century.
Eric Kroll's Fetish Girls
Eric Kroll
Eric Kroll's therapist said that his art was his inner child screaming to be heard. He was concerned that she might cure him, so he stopped going to therapy. Good for the world.
Girls. Fetishes. Leather. Very odd stuff, very humourous, very good.
Pin-Up Poster Book: The Elvgren Collection
This is technically not nude art, but Elvgren was in my opinion the best of the old Good Girl Art painters. Quite fabulous.
