Appropriately, this pioneering history of the depiction of the human body, which began with the Mellon Lectures, was largely written in the home of Bernard Berenson, the art historical master to whom it is dedicated. In ancient times, the nude had been used to express fundamental human needs, for instance, the need for harmony and order Apollo versus the need to sublimate sexual desire Venus. Clark, the most refined and sophisticated of critics, was also surreptitiously advancing a very British kind of popular paganism through his acknowledgment of the power of Eros. In hindsight, The Nude can be identified as a turning point for the incipient sexual revolution of the 60s. Probably no one would be more surprised at this suggestion than Clark.

Linda Lee Blakemore. And it's all free! Many loved The Big Book of Legs but some found it just too darn big, weighing in at nearly seven pounds.

Fortunately here at TASCHEN we listen to your groans of agony as well as your moans of ecstasy; thus, this light and portable new edition, packing over of the choicest photos from the original volume, as well as 38 new photos, into a compact and frankly adorable package. There are silk and nylon stockings, high heels in abundance, curvy calves, taut thighs, playful toes and towering arches-with no bothersome text to get in the way. Could leg love get any sweeter?
