Features: Photography and painting, as two of the most representative art forms in visual arts, have developed together and intertwined with each other over more than a century. There are both pure photography and pure painting, as well as pictorial photography and photographic-style painting (such as the hyper-realistic painting movement). Historically, painting and photography have also had many combined experiences. Early photography served as a supplement to painting. On the other hand, pictorial photographers drew inspiration from famous paintings to create photographs. This is the fourth volume in the Human Body Art Series. This book includes 90 works of painting and photography of the human body, including Ingres' oil painting The Bound, Xu Beihong's sketch Woman, and Fu Xin's photograph Woman among others.
