This lavishly illustrated book concerns the body in western art from the nineteenth century to the present day, and features essays by contemporary art critics on questions related to this topic. As a provocative primer on developments in the various traditions and anti-traditions of figurative art, the book has a wealth of examples -- from Courbet's naturalism to Gober's installations of disembodied legs. From the ghost-like figures in the paintings of Francis Bacon to today's performance art, this study traces links in a legacy which seems to be striving to eliminate all separation between renditions of the body and an artist's own corporeality.
