Hotties in Art

Has an artwork ever made you hot under the collar? How often have you walked through a gallery, tried to focus on the text panel, but, really, just been enamoured by the drop dead gorgeous guy staring back at you?It's magical to think how art can make you blush, sometimes thousands of years after it was made.Painters still get our pulse racing with a few strokes of their brush, as do the sculptors who turned stone into supple skin using their hammers and chisels, and the photographers who captured freeze-frames that still set hearts aflame. Offering a fresh and humorous introduction to art and written by Museum Bums co-author Jack Shoulder, this book searches art history, across movements and throughout the world to find the most alluring artworks - some famous while others rarely ever seen before.Whether you are looking for boyfriend material, a heavenly hunk, a bright young thing or even holding out for a hero, there is a Museum Hottie carefully curated for you. So if your idea of dating the 'Bachelor' is absolute hell and you'd prefer an evening with Dr Pozzi by John Singer Sargeant, or if you'd happily exchange a doomscroll on Tinder for a late evening at the National Portrait Gallery, swipe right through the pages of this book and find your new art history boyfriend.
