Il nudo maschile

Speranza

Edward Lucie-Smith:

"None of the these emotional and intellectual structures that pervaded the art of Michelangelo or Jacques-Louis David now exist."

"The male nude, correspondingly, has been reduced to the level of a purely GENRE subject."

"And this kind of GENRE is subordinate to another."

"Our reactions to the male nude are not largely dominated by the way in which we react to nudes of the OPPOSITE sex, which during the past two hundred years have appeared so much more commonly in art."
