Dust jacket notes: “The Bride Stripped Bare is a study of thirteen twentieth-century artists, and of the erotic and affective sensibilities expressed in their work. Matisse’s odalisques and Picasso’s demoiselles, Bonnard’s bathers, Balthus’s Lolitas and de Kooning’s harpies all appear in this provocative and original book, as do the nudes of Maillol, Schiele, Modigliani, Pascin, Lachaise, Stanley Spencer, Lucian Freud, and Philip Pearlstein.
