Review :
"The Sexiest Nude Art You've Never Seen: A gorgeous new book, "Naked" by Bram Dijkstra, highlights the most famous, eye-popping, game-changing pieces of naked artwork in the world... Check out all of the envelope-pushing paintings, photographs, sketches, and sculptures in the new book "Naked: The Nude in America" by Bram Dijkstra" "Cosmopolitan" ""Naked" is a thorough exploration of America's sometimes puritanical and sometimes perverse relationship with the nude in the visual arts.

ArtInfo.com "Bram Dijkstra's exploration of the history of nudity in American art is a bit of a two-for-one deal: a hybrid of controversial coffee table book and in-depth social and political tre
