Linda Nochlin on The Body

Renowned art historian and pioneering feminist Linda Nochlin explores how, from the late 18th century, fragmented, mutilated and fetishised representations of the human body came to constitute a distinctively modern view of the world.

Surprising, questioning, challenging, enriching: the Pocket Perspectives series celebrates writers and thinkers who have helped shape the conversation across the arts. Mixing classic and contemporary texts, reissues and abridgements, these are bite-sized, fully illustrated reads in an attractive, affordable and highly collectable package.

Linda Nochlin on The Body is a testament to Nochlin's insightful analysis and her contribution to both art history and feminist discourse. This work invites readers to reconsider the artistic portrayal of the human form and its implications on society's perception of modernity.
