The Art of Attraction: The History of Physical Beauty from the Renaissance to the Present Day
14.99 €
This book by Georges Vigarello, professor at the University of Paris V and author of many works on the representation and cultural history of the body, traces the changing concept of bodily beauty in Europe, from the Renaissance to the present day. Which body was considered beautiful and which was considered ugly? What body care products were valued in different eras? How have pop culture and the promotion of healthy lifestyles influenced the idea of beauty? How durable is the ideal, in pursuit of which destinies are sometimes broken? Georges Vigarello uses the visual arts, literature, medical and aesthetic treatises, the press, cinema and advertising to build a fascinating excursion that answers these questions.
