"Why are they all naked?"—this question inevitably arises in the mind of anyone visiting ancient or Renaissance art galleries, and sometimes even stuns viewers of contemporary art. Each era has its own answer, and art historian Yulia Pavlotskaya has collected them in her book.

You will learn:

- Why nudity was sometimes exalted, sometimes forbidden.
- Why Michelangelo sculpted David naked, shocking the people of Florence.
- Why 18th-century aristocrats commissioned their portraits as naked goddesses.
- Why Picasso and Modigliani broke the mold of the body, creating a new language of nudity.
- How 20th-century photographers and artists used the naked body as a tool of rebellion against convention.
