Powerfullybeautiful.com comes to life, and it simply is is powerfully beautiful. No other book on the market focuses on the classically painted male figure like this. Bold, beautiful, daring, strong, & sensual barely describe this collection. It is as if we are swept back to a time before conservative critics pushed works like these into a closet. The male figure is making a quiet comeback, collected silently by the NYC Museum Of Modern Art, Guggenheim & Tate Modern. They know something the rest of the world is about to find out; 2000 years of art history had it right & the masculine model is about to reassume his throne. These artists have chosen the most difficult route, bypassing the splashes, drips, & eroticism of a push-button culture. They have followed the path of masters before them, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, & Ingres to create images that will last long after we turn to dust. These are the living masters of a male figurative resurgence. Foreword by Grady Harp. Afterword by David Jarrett.
