1.0 out of 5 stars Nude beauty - a book for artists and medical doctors, November 25, 2011

By

This review is from: Classical Male Nudes: 1900 - 1920 (Hardcover)

The german magazines in which these photos were published at the beginning of the 20th century are interesting in their obscurity; pictures from an other world - even if the images themselves had little artistic quality.
This book lacks this charm and unfortunately does not compensate for this: the printing is poor and there is no text about the context in which these photos were published.

4.0 out of 5 stars R-rated early 20th Century Nudes, January 5, 2009

This review is from: Classical Male Nudes: 1900 - 1920 (Hardcover)

This book has a lot of pictures and the printing is good. In some cases, the quality of the original photograph limits the quality of the reproduced print.

For people who are familiar with Eakins, Muybridge, Von Gloeden, and other famous early photographers of male nudes, these images are arranged well and properly lit. The content is R-rated, so if you prefer your statues without fig leaves, this book is disappointing. For people who want suggestive vintage erotica, the images are titillating, but the title implies more prurience. A better title might be "Classical Male Buttocks and Thighs: 1900-1920."
