Andy Warhol Nudes

Andy Warhol created some of the strongest iconic images of this century -- highly public images of everything from Campbell's soup cans and the Empire State Building to Mao and Marilyn Monroe. This book celebrates his art of a more private nature, his representations of the naked human body as paintings, prints and drawings. It includes a group of "pretty" nudes from the 50s, where sex organs are depicted as a desirable consumer good, not unlike his advertising illustrations for shoes; the "Torso Series" of the 70s, based on Polaroids; some large drawings from the 70s and 80s; and a series of prints, "Sex Parts", from 1978.Nochlin, Linda is the author of 'Andy Warhol Nudes', published 1995 under ISBN 9780944680476 and ISBN 094468047X.
