When it involves the female body it can also be erotic. Erotic Ambiguities is a study of how contemporary women artists have reconceptualised the figure of the female nude. Helen McDonald shows how, over the past thirty years, artists have employed the idea of ambiguity to dismantle the exclusive, classical ideal enshrined in the figure of the nude, and how they have broadened the scope of the ideal to include differences of race, ethnicity, sexuality and disability as well as gender.McDonald discusses the work of a wide range of women artists, including BFemale nude in artFeminism in artGender identity in artWomen artistsPsychologyElectronic books.Female nude in art.Feminism in art.Gender identity in art.Women artistsPsychology.704.9424McDonald Helen1949,946387MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454876903321Erotic ambiguities2138209UNINA
