Summary

Manis a stunning collection of photographs to celebrate all that is beautiful in the male naked body. Four leading photographers - Trevor Watson, Tony Butcher, Za-Hazzanani, and Toni Catany - have contributed to this volume, each bringing an individual style to their subject, but all expressing pleasure in the physical symmetry, joyful sexuality, and quintessential maleness of their subjects. The female nude has long been accepted - even revered - in the art world and culture at large, an acceptance that the male nude has rarely enjoyed. Once the dominant ideal for the ancient Greeks and artists of the Italian Renaissance, images of the male nude have since been regarded as carrying a cultural burden. man - and the artists whose work is showcased herein - seeks to redress the balance with this superb collection of frank and honest images of the male nude for the enjoyment of all.
