Sexuality in Western Art (World of Art)

When this book was first publishd as Eroticism in Western Art almost twenty years ago, it was "hailed as the only available, concise, crisply written, and useful survey on the subject. This revised and updated edition hints at one significant change: the word "eroticism," often misleading in its connotations, has been replaced in the title."--the publisher. This book is a chronological survey of the expression of sexuality in Western art from Michelangelo to Picasso to Mapplethorpe. It is full of illustrations that provide a fascinating visual commentary on the text.
