"Considering how the nude dominated sculpture and painting at two of the chief epochs in their history, one might have expected a small library on the subject. But in fact there are only two general studies of any value, Julius Lange's Die menschliche Gestalt in der Geschichte der Kunst (1908) and Wilhelm Hausenstein's Der nackte Mensch (1913), in which much useful material is cooked into a Marxist stew." " --from the preface to The Nude: A Study in Ideal Form (1956) |
