Torsi - torses nus

Torsi - torses nus is a classic photo book by French photographer Jeanloup Sieff. This first edition, published in 1986 by Contrjour in Munich, features 47 to 48 black and white photographic plates (depending on the specific printing) devoted to nude portraits, primarily focusing on upper torsos. The work is presented as a tribute to the human form, emphasizing line, light, and shadow through elegant and aesthetically subtle imagery. Each portrait is accompanied by short biographical information about the models. The book is noted for its high-quality production, often appearing in linen cloth or hardcover bindings with pictorial dust jackets.
