An Informal History of the Male Nude (Complete)

An Informal History of the Male Nude is a BBC Radio 3 series that delves into the representation of the male nude in visual arts across various cultures and epochs. Typically overshadowed by portrayals of the female form, the male nude has often been simplistically associated with ideals of courage and endurance. Through five engaging programs, experts such as Edith Hall and Partha Mitter explore this rich topic, examining the male nude in ancient, Indian, African, Renaissance, Victorian, and contemporary art. Produced by Zahid Warley, this series aims to expand the discourse on male representation in art.
