The Nude in Art: "The role of the nude in art is as old as the history of art itself. From the oldest archeological finds, crude figurines with origins lost in the mists of pre-history, through the stylized art of the Egypt of 3000 B.C., the glory of Greece and Rome, the dead centuries of the middle ages, the Renaissance and on to modern times the nude has been a source of inspiration and a primary concern of the artist." |
