ISBN: 9780975643211

A survey of the history and many manifestations of the nude in Australian art from 1842 up to the present day, encompassing painting, sculpture, printmaking and photography. The story of the Australian nude is put in the context of international art, socio-cultural developments in Australia, and the many issues thrown up by the nude such as the life class and the naked/nude distinction. While focused on the nude, it gradually reveals itself as a re-telling of the history of Australian art through the lens of the nude.
