Blurb: “ Sexuality in Western Art
Edward Lucie-Smith. 274 illustrations, 29 in color
Sexuality in its many guises has preoccupied Western artists from Michelangelo to Picasso, Rubens to Robert Mapplethorpe. Almost every form of the subject has been portrayed, whether covert or overt, crude or highly sophisticated. Edward Lucie-Smith considers the fruits of this obsession, which, while highly sexual, are also fine art.
His incisive text is as invigorating as it is rewarding and will prove invaluable in assessing this aspect of the history of Western art. "The illustrations are fascinating and the commentary consistently cool... just the right amount of information." (The Sunday Times)
