Depictions of aged human bodies have become ever more present in the visual arts, particularly in photography. Sabine Kampmann draws out the role of established formulas of portraiture and the conventional nude in this new visibility of old age. She interrogates the images for evidence of changes in the relationship between generations, in attitudes towards sexuality and in the meaning of grandparenthood in society. The author carefully traces an evolution in the depiction of old age in visual culture and impressively extracts the impact that photography has had on changing attitudes towards the later stages of life. Includes works by Giorgione, Lucas Cranach, Bernardo Strozzi, Nicholas Nixon, Annegret Soltau, Miwa Yanagi, Andres Serrano, Erwin Olaf, Roman Opalka and Melanie Manchot.
