The Quest for Human Beauty: An Illustrated History

Summary: MY BEST UNCENSURED BOOK SO FAR ...................
Review: 'The Quest for Human Beauty: An Illustrated History' is the first uncensured book of its kind.& certainly the best I have written - others being 'Body Packaging: A Guide to Human Sexual Display'(1987) 'The Fine Art of Fashion: An Illustrated History'(1989, revised edition 1998) 'The Brilliance of Art Deco'(1988, revised edition1997) 'Fashion of the 40's'(1976/80) 'Fashion in the 30's'(1977/85) 'The Golden Age of Style: Art Deco Fashion Illustration'(1976/82) etc.....Having been a college and university design lecturer for many years, in the UK, Europe, the USA, Australia,Japan and elsewhere, I believe it is a must for all young design students,all those who wish to enter the fashion and beauty industries, & those interested in human diversity & cultural ways and traditions, as I have tried to show in the 750 plus illustrations , all forms of techniques of beautification, body modification & modes of adornment, unhindered by the ideas and notions of moralists and law makers. Many of my professional colleagues were outraged by what I have shown, although their teenage children & the young students I have spoken to ,have been fascinated. For further information you can contact me on email [e-mail] I am also looking for further information and illustrations for my new work 'A Celebration of Human Differences' as well as help & sponsorship for an exhibition aimed at saving our precious human diversity, & possibility of starting a permanent museum on the subject. Help and advice is desperately needed. THANKS JR.
