This book provides a timely reappraisal of one of the most enduring subjects in the history of art – the naked body.

Beginning with reflections on what denuding entails and means, the volume then shifts to a consideration of body politics in the context of Black political empowerment, disability, and queer and Indigenous politics of representation. Themes including the animal nude, the male nude, and nudity in childhood are also considered. The final section examines the nude from the perspective of the artist and the artist’s model.

The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, comparative literature, cultural studies, gender studies, queer studies, screen studies, and trans studies.

Nicholas Chare is Professor of Art History at the Université de Montréal, Canada. Ersy Contogouris is Assistant Professor of Art History at the Université de Montréal, Canada.
