John de Lombardo - Naked Gymnastics - 2006

Beautiful, athletic bodies with exceptional flexibility of acrobats, dancers and female athletes have always fascinated. These graceful beauties perform contortions so acrobatic that they would exhaust an ordinary person. They execute these exotic movements with ease and playful elegance.
The performance of difficult exercises in a state of natural nudity offers unexpected erotic perspectives on the beauty of the female sex, which is revealed here as a ripe and fleshy fruit. Lombardo’s photos convey a message of physical and sexual openness, even surrender.
A book of striking originality! Texts in German, English and French.

The book is in good condition but it belonged to a School of Applied Arts. It served as inspiration or models for the workshop artists to draw bodies, poses, etc. For this reason, this book has often been handled and shows signs of artistic use, mainly graphite traces at the bottom of the pages (residue from pencil lead left on the fingers). This book therefore has a history but remains in good condition.
