Reclining Nude
«Reviews ‘This book is a deep and far-reaching exploration of the sensory impressions, affective impact, and gender-ideological import of films and photographs by three women—Agnès Varda, Catherine Breillat, and Nan Goldin. The author wisely focuses on an important but underexamined area of these women’s work: images of the reclining nude.'

The figure of a woman reclining, in repose, displayed, abandoned, fallen, asleep, or dreaming, returns in the work of women filmmakers and photographers in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Filmmakers Agnès Varda and Catherine Breillat, and American photographer working in Paris, Nan Goldin, return to the paintings of Titian, Velázquez, Goya, Courbet, and others, re-imagining, and re-purposing, their images of female beauty, display, (auto)eroticism, and intimacy.
