Nude

Tim Marlow, world renowned British Art Historian, narrates this four-part series about the nude in art and its ongoing significance. Using Classical, Renaissance, Enlightenment, and Modern representative masterpiece nudes, Marlow imparts information about each piece’s societal context. Marlow suggests the nude depicts man’s understanding of himself, his world, his culture, and his relationship to his God/Gods and therefore is the most enduring image in art. Intermittently, Marlow is joined by three art intellectuals: art historian Peter Webb (author of The Erotic Arts), historian Christopher Kelly (Cambridge University), and journalist David Waters (Men’s Health Magazine).
