The Female Body
by Laure Adler
Description
Ever since Prehistory and the Venus of Willendorf, women have been the objects of all fantasies. Goddesses or prostitutes, virgins or witches, loving mothers or sexualized daughters: their bodies, all of their body parts and their faces have been represented, staged and overexposed by a mostly male gaze. With a stunning iconography, from Botticelli to Cindy Sherman, from Picasso to Frida Kahlo and many other illustrious artists, this book is an account of the evolution of the status of women, akin to a journey through their sexual and political emancipation.
