Why did the male nude become an object of spectacle and erotic display in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries? Why was the male nude later eclipsed by the female nude? Why have historians ignored this "crisis" in the representation of masculinity, characterized by a taste for feminized male bodies? In this pioneering and compelling book, Abigail Solomon-Godeau shows that the masculine ideal, whether in the guise of martial, virile heroes or languishing, disempowered youths, raises important questions about the fashioning of masculinity itself. Examining the different forms of ideal manhood in relation to the cataclysms of the French Revolution and to international Neoclassicism, she explores how and why the beautiful male body dominated the visual culture of the time and appealed so powerfully to male spectators. Drawing on feminist, psychoanalytic, and critical theory, as well as on art and cultural history, Solomon-Godeau proposes a radical revision of Neoclassical visual culture as it relates to the emerging bourgeois order, demonstrating how both reflect the status of women.
Review:
"...[T]he author attempts to recover certain meanings, both manifest and latent, in the imagery of masculinity in the decades before and after the French Revolution."
Cassandra Langer, Lambda Book Report, 07/1009

Book Description: Thames Hudson Ltd, United Kingdom, 1999. Paperback. Book Condition: New. New edition. 234 x 156 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Why did the male nude dominate French art through the French Revolution and then largely disappear? In this pioneering book which challenges received ideas about masculinity and neoclassical visual culture, Abigail Solomon-Godeau shows how the masculine ideal, whether in the guise of virile hero or passive youths, then or now, raises important questions about the fashioning of masculinity itself. Drawing on feminist, psychoanalytical and critical theory, as well as cultural and art history, this volume "completely recasts the gender question, not only for 18th-century history and art history, but for the entire history of western culture", as the eminent historian Professor Lynn Hunt has written.
