Take a whimsical journey through the derrieres of the art world with this playful history book. Divided into six categories, you'll discover the most captivating rear ends in museums around the globe, from the beautifully rendered buttocks of the Renaissance to the abstract curves of modern art. Authors Mark Small and Jack Shoulder provide witty social commentary, historical context, and lively commentary alongside tasteful (and occasionally cheeky) depictions of bums in art.
Featuring a sneaky angel getting handsy in a 16th-century triptych, a 25,000-year-old voluptuous Venus, and Cezanne's dreamy derriere-baring bathers, this collection showcases the diverse and enduring impact of beautiful behinds in the world of art. Museum Bums encourages readers to enjoy, admire, and even have a chuckle, all while gaining some insight into art and history - a must-have for any art lover, museum-goer, or derriere devotee.
