Fully Exposed: The Male Nude in Photography

Fully Exposed is a pioneering cultural history of the photography of the male nude which sets the photographer and the model within our cultural and historical perceptions and prejudices. This second edition extends the book's coverage so that the story from the beginnings of the medium to the present day is complete. Fully Exposed is lavishly illustrated with over two hundred and fifty photographs,many of them new to this edition. Different chapters discuss how the male nude has been used by artists, the way it has been treated in the popular press,in relation to British colonialism and scientific ideology. It also discusses `private pictures' taken at home or acquired as erotic material by the private collector. A final chapter brings the book up-to-date and discusses the male nude in the nineties. The combination of art criticism and photographic essay make this an unusual and important book both for academics and the general reader.

The Sexual Perspective: Homosexuality and Art in the Last 100 Years in the West

First published in 1986 to wide critical acclaim, The Sexual Perspective broke new ground by bringing together and discussing the painting, sculpture and photography of artists who were gay/lesbian/queer/bisexual. The lavishly illustrated new edition discusses the greater lesbian visibility within the visual arts and artist's responses to the AIDS epidemic. Emmanuel Cooper places the art in its artistic, social and legal contexts, making it a vital contribution to current debates about art, gender, identity and sexuality.

History

Just as the good cook starts with a recipe and, when familiar with it, makes it individual, so the good potter learns how to control and develop a glaze to achieve a particular result. Over 500 glaze recipes and variations are contained in this textbook as a basis for experimentation, including those which are for domestic ware and series work as well as those which produce stunning visual results. The introductory chapters give general instructions and discuss ways around common faults. The recipes are then listed according to temperature tolerance and the ingredients are given as parts by weight, with the additional colouring oxides expressed as percentages. A brief note follows each glaze, describing its appearance and suggesting variations on the basic formula by adjustments in thickness of application, firing method or metal oxide levels. The book also contains a listing of basic glazing materials, metric conversion tables and a list of suppliers in the UK and the USA. Emmanuel Cooper has his own pottery studio in London, is a ceramics teacher and the co-editor of "Ceramic Review" magazine.
