Twenty-one artists, from all walks of life, gathered at the New
York Academy of Art on Sunday, February 21, 2016, for a special
life drawing class with a guest model: American rock legend Iggy
Pop.
A richly illustrated and extremely enjoyable reference book on the
historical evolution of the nude. From the Palaeolithic "Great
Mothers" to the Greek athletes, from the Venus of Urbino by Titian
to Leonardo's Virtuvian Man, from the Odalisque by Boucher to those
by Ingres, to the amazons of Helmut Newton and the desolate
lifeless bodies of Andres Serrano, the nude is the theme of
artistic representation par excellence. The nude body as the
incarnation of perfect beauty and the suspicions concerning its
sensuality imposed by Christian culture; the renewed triumph of
ancient beauty in the Renaissance and the study of anatomy; the
visual licentiousness of the 18th century and the photographic
nude; ideal beauty, eroticism, pornography; the nude also as
representation of the ugly and its flaunted truthfulness in the art
of the 20th century; the nude that itself becomes a work of art in
the avant-garde of the post-WWII period, with performance, body art
and experimental theatre. These are the threads of the narration
all conducted around a rich apparatus of images. After Art of the
Twentieth Century, published by Skira in four languages in 2009,
Flaminio Gualdoni has now created a richly illustrated new
reference book that is also extremely enjoyable to read.

When the American art world turned toward abstract art and action
painting, Francis Cunningham remained focused on figurative art and
the human form. His interest never waned. This book chronicles his
development over an astonishing seven decades. Presented in a
nonlinear order, the arc of his work is there for the discerning
eye to see. Landscapes, still life, and human forms are
interrelated. Cunningham's work reveals the connection between
abstraction and representation. Their coexististence is the
material and subject of this book, disclosing a new understanding
of American painting by a living artist. Accompanying over 180 high
quality reproductions, the artist's many facets are explored in
essays by art historians and art critics, including Christopher
Knight, Edward Lifson, John Walsh, and Valentina De Pasca, as well
through the reminiscences of one of his life models, Regina
Hawkins-Balducci. Cunningham attended the Art Students League of
New York, where he studied drawing and anatomy with Robert Beverly
Hale and painting with Edwin Dickinson. He became an influential
master instructor, cofounding the New Brooklyn School of Life
Drawing, Painting and Sculpture (1977-1983) and the New York
Academy of Art in 1983. At his current age of 90, he continues to
paint in his studio in Manhattan and in the rural western part of
Massachusetts, known as the Berkshires. This is the first monograph
devoted to his work.
