10/21/15 review of the book The Nude: A Study in Ideal Form

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the book The Nude: A Study in Ideal Form, by Kenneth Clark.

My Twitter thread discusses Clark's theory of nudes as an expression of humanity's worldview, as well as of an interplay of axes, tensions, and rhythms. It also discusses how Clark contextualizes nudes in art. The thread also provides images from the book, such as the work of Correggio, Lucas Cranach, Rembrandt, Francois Boucher, and Picasso.

Here is the link for Princeton University Press's edition of The Nude: A Study in Ideal Form, by Kenneth Clark.

I bought this book used from the Tattered Cover Book Store, a great bookstore chain in Denver, Colorado.
