5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing oil paintings of naked teenage boys, September 4, 1998

By A Customer

A good collection of paintings by a british master. Most paintings are of naked teenage boys by the sea in Cornwall, UK. This book provides a good collection of Tuke's paintings and the biography is interesting. However, if you can get a copy of the "Under Canvas" book about Tuke it's even better. A bit of trivia for the curious ... many Tuke originals are now owned by Elton John.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful paintings of beautiful subjects, May 16, 2001

By A Customer

I have enjoyed my copy of Cooper's monograph, "The Life & Work of Henry Scott Tuke." Tuke captured the beauty of his subjects--most often, handsome young men--without exploitation or eroticism. Anyone who enjoys the male form should give Tuke's work a look.
