Nerve: The New Nude

by Genevieve Field, Robert Zverina (Contributor)

Hailed as "the Web's most intelligent forum for erotica," Nerve magazine has redefined and elevated our dialog about sex. With well over 750,000 unique visitors per month, and dedicated web sites in Germany, France, and Spain, in addition to its print publishing, Nerve's brand of smart sex is growing at a feverish pace. In this bold collection, Genevieve Field, cofounder of Nerve, delivers a state of the union on nude photography with a selection of work from today's hottest photographers. No longer restricted to the beautiful but often impersonal, traditional posed nude, these 150 contemporary images burst with color, life, and yes...sex. Nerve: The New Nude captures the cutting edge of nude photography and backs it with intelligent and powerful discourse on a contentious subject.

A pretty good collection of nude photography. I didn't care for all of the artists but I still love the book as a whole.

I liked this book of nudes, especially when I used it as reference for practicing life drawing. I wasn't really into each photo work featured, but as an overall collection it was agreeable.

Features a collection of photographers and a brief sample of their works, includes a profile of each artist. B/W and color. Insightful.
