Man to Man: An Obsession. The Pierre Passebon Collection

From the idealized nude heroes of ancient Greece to the confrontational frontal nudes of the 1970s and the intimate and sensual hyper-realistic nudes painted by French artist Jacques Sultana, the infinite possibilities to represent the naked male body have fascinated collector Pierre Passebon for decades. This book celebrates a powerful, revolutionary, end sometimes controversial selection of artworks depicting the male nude from Passeboris outstanding personal collection of paintings, sculpture, photography, ceramics, and drawings, challenging taboos surrounding male eroticism and inviting the reader to reassess notions of male identity and normative views of the human body.
