As Clark writes, “The nude gains its enduring value from the fact that it reconciles several contrary states. It takes the most sensual and immediately interesting object, the human body, and puts it out of reach of time and desire; it takes the most purely rational concept of which man is capable, mathematical order, and makes it a delight to the senses; and it takes the vague fears of the unknown and sweetens them by showing that the gods are like men and may be worshipped for their life-giving beauty rather than their death-dealing powers.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ca:text textemphasis=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/a:text\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"productInfoTabExpanderHeader0\" class=\"a-expander-header a-expander-partial-collapse-header\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Book Lovers BD","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":55363320054051,"sku":null,"price":460.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":55363320086819,"sku":null,"price":570.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"eBook","offer_id":55363320119587,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/5872\/2083\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_4b956ab1-c38e-4374-b644-ce02059e1c7f.jpg?v=1784751526","url":"https:\/\/www.bookloversbd.shop\/products\/the-nude-a-study-of-ideal-art-book-by-kenneth-clark","provider":"Book Lovers BD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
