Summary
The author explores the disparity in the depiction of male and female nudes in art history, particularly by female artists. Feminist art critic Gill Saunders argues that the lack of male nudes by female artists may stem from a lack of interest in or response to images of the naked male body. E.L. Stewart, a celebrated artist known for her female nudes, emphasizes the timelessness and appeal of the nude figure, reflecting her personal connection to the female form.
