Des défauts de détail mais la thèse est provocante et apporte quelque chose Hardcover New. The Beautiful Boy is a book by Germaine Greer, published in 2003 as The Boy in the Commonwealth by Thames \u0026amp; Hudson and in the rest of the world by Rizzoli. Its avowed intention was \"to advance women's reclamation of their capacity for and right to visual pleasure\". It is a study of the youthful male face and form, from antiquity to the present day, from paintings and drawings to statuary and photo. If you purchase this book with the knowledge that it is not a book of photographs, but a stunning collection of artwork images throughout the ages, you will not be disappointed. This is a coffee table book. It is precisely that. Not just for it's imagery, but for the conversations it can lead to. its more of a history of the art of the beautiful boy than anything. I dont see why it was\/is so controversial. Yes, this is a lavishly illustrated portfolio of paintings, drawings and photographs of boys before they become men, but the point of departure here is that Greer is examining a perception process among women paralleling the historic depiction of the beautiful boy. This, then, is an historic survey, but it is also a psychosocial treatise written with careful attention to detail, wry humor, and joyful discovery. This book deserves a very wide audience. Pick up in Palm Springs.
