Showcasing 120 of photographer Gordon Thye's gorgeous, duotones. this coffee table book offers images that are sensitive, cheerful, aesthetic, and erotic. The photographs show a masterful use of light and shadow, with sharp and blurred focus that elicits a wide variety of emotions. The images include peaceful moments full of magic; stylised graphic compositions; surreal stage scenes; and erotic portraits of self-confident, young and beautiful women. With his aesthetically arranged poses, intentionally simple lighting, and an emphasis on the essential elements of design the photographer shows how little is actually required to achieve a great photograph.

Portraits Nudes Flowers is a collection of photographs by Lima-born Mariano Vivanco (born 1975), one of the world's leading editorial and advertising photographers. It includes portraits of some of the world's most fashionable faces, including Cindy Crawford, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Naomi Campbell, Ricky Martin, Antonio Banderas, Emma Watson and Sam Smith, among many others. Nudes have been a component of Vivanco's photography since his early studies in Melbourne, Australia, most notably his Candice Swanepoel and David Gandy nudes, both of which are featured here. Flowers have also been a longstanding subject of Vivanco's photographic explorations, and this volume includes a never-before-seen series of Vivanco's flowers. With a fresh and unexpected take on these highly popular subjects, Vivanco unifies his collection of portraits, nudes and flowers in a contemporary fashion.
A collection of portraits and nudes taken from The Lane Collection, which have only been previously published in the form of exhibition catalogues. Most of these photographs are in private ownership and have never truly been available for viewing by the general public.
"The Nude lies at the centre of Western art. From the beginning of photography it has attracted photographers, many of whom have imitated the forms and postures portrayed by painters. There are a few moments when a photographer has abandoned derivative styles and allowed the viewer to see the body in completely new manner. This occured in America in the work of Edward Weston and in Britain in the work of Bill Brandt. It now occurs in the photographs of Lee Friedlander. ver the last fifteen years, Friedlander has been working with a number of models to create his own way of seeing and photographing the female nude. Little of this work has ever appeared. The photographs are both highly intimate and coolly detached. The frequently surprising perspectives are balanced by the mundane backdrops of ordinary life, the real domestic interiors of the models. his book is published on the occasion of an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and confirms Friedlander's stature as one of the greatest photographers of his generation. He appears to have taken a primary theme of Western art and re-invented it."
This volume collects Weston's photographic studies of the nude form, first put together in 1953.
'Nue York: Self-Portraits of a Bare Urban Citizen was born out of an initial questioning about clothing and the importance of fashion in modern society. As I watched an image-obsessed society care more about the sales at Barneys than the homeless people they ignore as they parade by, I began to wonder what the world would feel like naked, without the empowering or disempowering effect of clothing.
The nude figure was critical to the art of Edgar Degas throughout his life, and yet his expansive body of work on this subject has been overshadowed by his celebrated portraits and dancers. Degas and the Nude is the first book in a generation to explore the artist's treatment of the nude from his early years in the 1850s and 1860s, through his triumphs in the 1880s and 1890s, all the way to his last decades, when the theme dominated his artistic production in all media. With essays by leading critics, the book aims to provide a new interpretation of Degas's evolving conception of the nude and to situate it in the subject's broader context among his peers in 19th-century France. Among the scores of reproductions is one of the most important of Degas's early paintings, Scene of War in the Middle Ages, which exerted a lifelong influence on the artist's treatment of the female nude and includes poses poses repeated throughout his career. Also included are monotypes of the late 1870s, which illustrate Degas's most explicitly sexual depictions of women in Parisian brothels, and pictures portraying the daily life of women wherever they resided. Together these iterations range over more than a half-century of virtuoso achievement and manifest a groundbreaking look at the evolution of this master artist.
