From idealised nude heroes of ancient Greece to the confrontational frontal nudes of the 1970s and the intimate and sensual photorealist nudes painted by French artist Jacques Sultana, the infinite possibilities of representation of the naked male body have fascinated the collector Pierre Passebon for decades.

This new volume in the Obsession series, directed by Pierre Passebon, celebrates a powerful, revolutionary, and sometimes controversial selection of artworks of the male nude from his outstanding personal collection of paintings, sculpture, photography, ceramics, and drawings. It challenges taboos surrounding male eroticism and invites the reader to reassess notions of male identity and normative views of the human body.
