Erotic Ambiguities - The Female Nude in Art (Hardcover)

Art is always ambiguous. When it involves the female body it can also be erotic. Erotic Ambiguities is a study of how women artists working over the past thirty years have reconceptualised the figure of the female nude. Helen McDonald discusses the work of a wide range of women artists, including Barbara Kruger, Judy Chicago, Mary Duffy, Zoe Leonard, Tracey Moffat, Pat Barrington and Sally Smart, to show how artists have employed the idea of ambiguity to dismantle the classical ideal enshrined in the figure of the nude, and how they have broadened the scope of this ideal to include differences of race, ethnicity, sexuality and disability as well as gender.
