We were moved to present BARE, NAKED & NUDE when we heard about the publication of San Diego treasure Bram Dijkstra’s new  book

NAKED:  THE NUDE IN AMERICA .

From the books publisher RIZZOLI:  Bram Dijkstra is a cultural historian who refuses to separate "high" and "low" art, charting instead such momentous historical events as the discovery of pubic hair, the invasion of the pin-up queens, "the inexorable rise of the breast," and the puzzling fluctuations of American prudery. Naked also examines the effects of the early twentieth century’s infatuation with Freudian psychoanalysis and the more recent fascination of comic book art with the legacy of Bettie Page and her seemingly ever more muscular daughters. In chronological and thematic order, the book demonstrates the links between the work of some of the most famous names in the history of American painting (Chase, Cassatt, Hopper), sculpture (French, Powers), and photography (Cunningham, Weston), and that of the outlaw hordes of cartoonists, book-cover illustrators, and visual extremists who, particularly during the last half-century, were able to turn the United States into the world’s principal purveyor of erotic fantasies.

Copies of Bram Dijkstra’s book will be available for purchase.  If you’d like a signed copy, call us to reserve one. NAKED:  THE NUDE IN AMERICA is published by Rizzoli.
