This link will keep you busy for a while. Stefan Beyst has compiled the work of more than hundred photographers from all over the world to illustrate a series of essays he has written on the topic of the nude in photography, painting and sculpture. This is still a work in progress. So far, five and a half essays have been posted.
1. the erotic eye and the erotic senses
2. the erotic appearance of man
3. the eye's seizure of power: the visualisation of the erotic appearance:
4. revealing and concealing: the nude clad
7. the nude captured in the image (part 1)
8. the transfiguration of the nude in the image
Weighty stuff, but a wealth of images and thought on the topic.
The erotic eye and its nude. An inquiry into the vicissitudes of the scopic and the phanic drive.
