The human form in art - Mervyn Levy
The Appreciation and practice of Figure Drawing and Painting
KORTE INHOUD
The most potent and revealing of man's aesthetic images is the nude; and the way the naked human body is painted or sculpted has always provided a vital clue to the nature of the society in which it was portrayed.
This is the theme of the first part of Mervyn Levy's fascinating study, in which he traces the progress of the nude in art from prehistory to the present day.
Illustrated with 12 pages in full colour and 32 pages in black and white.
