Download or read book Erotique written by Rod Ashford and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filled with high-quality colour and black and white images taken by the leading names in photography, this celebration of the female form is a best-seller. The popularity of erotic photography since the invention of the camera is undeniable and this book is an excellent guide to the techniques and fashions in erotic photography since the mid-19th century. Focussing on the greatest photographers in this field, Erotique is an indispensable reference work for the informed or the lay audience. The arena of erotic photography is a popular and controversial one and in recent years its demand and the surrounding furore have increased dramatically. That it should still induce moral outrage in such liberal days as these is proof that the naked form, a subject for artists for 2000 years, confounds people and poses more questions than answers. Erotique celebrates the beauty of the naked female form with a collection of the most exciting and significant photographs in this field.

Download or read book The Fugitive Gesture written by William A. Ewing and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 1994 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tribute to a major photographic genre's success in capturing in permanent form the most ephemeral of the arts. Over 200 reproduced duotone plates reveal dance in all its aspects - from many countries and periods, from classical ballet to rock and roll - photographed wherever dancers waltz, tango, tap-dance, pirouette, stomp, jive or kick up their heels for joy. The great dancers are here - Nijinsky, Fred Astaire, Pavlova, Fonteyn and Isadora Duncan among other immortals; but so too are the anonymous, captured in a Parisian nightclub or at the Roxy, New York, an Amsterdam street cafe or simply dancing alone by the seashore. The wide range of photographers include Gordon Anthony, Barbara Morgan, Beaton, Degas, Genthe, Steichen, Horst, Man Ray and Helmut Newton. Introductions to each chapter and detailed notes on the photographs provide essential background about the dancers and photographers.

Download or read book Nude Photography written by Peter-Cornell Richter and published by Prestel Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dawn of the daguerrotype 150 years ago has brought not only the birth of photography, but a renaissance in the study of nudes as well. This book tells the story of nudes in the photographic medium, from the world's most important photographers. Starting with the pioneer Daguerre, whose 1839 photograph of a nude sculpture set artistic precedent, this book spans the decades to early twentieth century greats such as Alfred Steiglitz, Man Ray and Brassai, to contemporary photographers such as Robert Mapplethorpe, David Levinthal and Duane Michals. The volume is a tour through a photographic gallery which treats the viewer to aspects of female beauty from the perspective of the camera lens. Set against a historical background, this book contrasts the art of taking pictures and its technological innovations with the academic tradition of painting nudes. The appearance of a new means of capturing the nude, the camera, introduced an entirely new dimension to the fine arts. The volume highlights the once fervent competition between the two media of photography and painting, with refinements in technology allowing the newer art form to come into its own. Each photograph is accompanied by a short essay that explains its story and interprets the photographic subjects. Biographical entries summarize the information belonging to each work.
