Scavullo Nudes

Francesco Scavullo is one of the leading image-makers of the last half century-a photographer whose celebrity portraits and glamorous fashion work helped create the look of an entire era. Along the way, he has also shot many nudes-striking, sensuous images that are inimitably Scavullo. Now, for the first time, a group of these nudes are presented in one stunningly designed volume.

Scavullo's subjects include both men and women and range from supermodels (Linda Evangelista, Stephanie Seymour, Jerry Hall) and movie stars (Rene Russo, Sylvia Miles) to dancers, musicians, denizens of the demimonde, and personal friends of the photographer. Affordably priced yet glamorous, this book will be irresistible for anyone attuned to fame, fashion, and the human form.

100 illustrations, 6 x 8 1/2"

FRANCESCO SCAVULLO's images have appeared on movie posters, albums, and the covers of Rolling Stone, LIFE, Time, Town & Country, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Mademoiselle, Glamour, and Cosmopolitan, among other magazines. His work has been collected in five books, including, most recently, Abrams' Scavullo: Photographs, 50 Years.
