Item description from seller

200 pages. Catalogue of an exhibition held at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, 12 September - 16. A clean, unmarked and solid copy. "The nude human body has often been a locus for controversy in modern Western art, from the shocking realism of Courbet's Origin of the World and Manet's Olympia to more recent radical treatments of the nude in contemporary art. Over 90 artists who have made notable achievements in the genre are examined here, including Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Frida Kahlo, Balthus, Arthur Boyd, Marcel Duchamp and Rebecca Horn. Body shows that the subject remains available and relevant to the artists of any era." (Publisher).

Store description

Good Reading was established in 1991. In early 2013, I downsized from a shop which spanned a block and two stories to a largish house which resembles a rabbit warren. There are at approximately 40,000 titles, including over 10,000 books in Italian, French, German, Modern Greek, Latin and classical Greek., most of which have not yet been catalogued. I also have a very large Theology section, and a substantial cookery and Australian History one. Please contact me if there is a specific title you are chasing as it may be languishing on the shelf uncatalogued. All enquiries will be answered promptly, books will be mailed out swaddled like Russian babies, and all faults honestly described. I do a full refund for any book sporting nasty surprises.…
