The Nude: The Modern
THE NUDE explores the sustaining significance of the nude figure in art and how different depictions of the nude figure have characterized civilizations. In this episode, we'll look at how modern film changed and romanticized the image of the nude. Starting out with the stark realism of film as opposed to canvas, we'll explore how physical realism entered into the canon of nude depictions, and how it was eventually realized that even on film, the human body could be romanticized as the 20th century progressed.
