This work differs from the "Perspective of nudes" 1961. The 1961 version contained 90 plates. This new Perspective has 160. The New perspective edition includes the photographs included in the "Nudes 1945-1980" book published by Gordon Fraser Gallery in 1980, but with better reproductions. The only Brandt nudes not included in this work are ones that Brandt himself chose not to print, or whether the subject was too similiar to other more important images. Out of focus negatives have also not been included. The publisher believes this edition to be as complete a version of Brandt's nudes that will ever be published.

A gloriously illustrated examination of the origins and development of the nude as an artistic subject in Renaissance Europe Reflecting an era when Europe looked to both the classical past and a global future, this volume explores the emergence and acceptance of the nude as an artistic subject. It engages with the numerous and complex connotations of the human body in more than 250 artworks by the greatest masters of the Renaissance. Paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings, illuminated manuscripts, and book illustrations reveal private, sometimes shocking, preoccupations as well as surprising public beliefs—the Age of Humanism from an entirely new perspective. This book presents works by Albrecht Dürer, Lucas Cranach, and Martin Schongauer in the north and Donatello, Raphael, and Giorgione in the south; it also introduces names that deserve to be known better. A publication this rich in scholarship could only be produced by a variety of expert scholars; the sixteen contributors are preeminent in their fields and wide-ranging in their knowledge and curiosity. The structure of the volume—essays alternating with shorter texts on individual artworks—permits studies both broad and granular. From the religious to the magical and the poetic to the erotic, encompassing male and female, infancy, youth, and old age, The Renaissance Nude examines in a profound way what it is to be human.

Inspired by the international media flurry surrounding his most recent nude portraiture, Marc Baptiste has branched out from a successful fashion photography career to explore an unflinching and fresh perspective of female nude portraiture. Picking up where he left off in "Beautiful" and "Intimate," Baptiste's unique vision effortlessly walks the line between pinup and journalistic, delicate and frank, and his work is as provocative as ever. Moving seamlessly between color and black-and-white photography, and featuring women of all kinds, the portraits, which employ Baptiste's all-access credibility, include photographs of such celebrities as singer Kelis, and actress Gabrielle Union, Kimberly Stewart, and Devon Aoki, among others. Baptiste's work explores a quiet eroticism while still maintaining the cinematic power of his acclaimed fashion work. "Nudes" illustrates Baptiste's passionate, intelligent, and seductive approach to capturing the essence of femininity and his art is a paean to his ideas of timeless beauty.
