The Nude reveals the sensitivity of aesthetic theory to fashion, what distinguishes the naked from the nude, and just why the nude has played such an important role in art history. As Clark writes, \"The nude gains its enduring value from the fact that it reconciles several contrary states.\r\n\r\n 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.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
