  Battle of the Nudes, Antonio Pollaiuolo by Raichel Le Goff
Battle of the Nudes, Antonio Pollaiuolo by Raichel Le Goff
The artistic achievement of the 'Battle of the Nudes' is not that Pollaiuolo has re-created a work of art that might recall the age of Apelles, but that he has skillfully represented the human figure in ever varied poses and in vigorous action.
In the 'Battle of the Nudes' the results of his investigations are loudly propounded, as the figures appear almost flayed of their skins, so vividly are the intrinsic workings of the body exposed.

 Guardian Unlimited Arts | Arts critics | A dream of slaughter
Battle of Nudes was a Renaissance cult, copied and revered.
It is not a famous battle or a specific battle, but an image, decontextualised and therefore dreamlike, of war naked, primal, instinctual.
Bertoldo's battle is the libidinal horrific release of everything that, as contemporaries so gratefully recognised and later generations wistfully remembered, Lorenzo the Magnificent restrained: the cruel opposite of the golden age.

 umusic.ca :: Gordon Downie
 For Battle of the Nudes, his second solo album and the first on MapleMusic Recordings, Downie channels a waterfall of ideas into a 37-minute sonic cauldron that swirls with roughage and delicacy.
Nudes had a long gestation period, albeit in short, fruitful bursts stretched over a year.
Battle of the Nudes is the next evolutionary step for the restless creative force that is Gord Downie.

 SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Features -- Nudes battle prudes on east German Baltic beaches
Mock said she's spent every summer of her life nude on the beach but worries nudists are becoming an endangered species.
There are intriguing theories about why easterners developed such a fondness for nude sunbathing during the four decades of communist rule while the westerners stayed buttoned up.
Easterners, raised in the atheist communist state, say the influence of the Catholic and Protestant churches are responsible for the comparatively prudish western attitudes.

 Art Collector
Pollaiuolo's engraving of a furious battle scene is one of the most important fifteenth-century engravings, exceptional for its size and complexity, and is also the earliest to be fully signed.
The Battle of Ten Nudes marks a turning point in the development of a less tonal and more linear manner of engraving.
The Battle of Ten Nudes was as successful as Pollaiuolo had hoped.

 Battle of Ten Nudes by POLLAIUOLO, Antonio del
It represents ten male nudes seen from different views, and was possibly used by artists in the workshop as a means of figure study.
The composition may also be seen as a series of five one-to-one confrontations, in the manner of the Hercules and Antaeus.
The meaning of the print, other tnan a battle, has yet to be explained, but it served as a pattern for other artists.

 The Music Box: Gordon Downie - Battle of the Nudes (Album Review)
Battle of the Nudes, Gordon Downie’s sophomore solo release, isn’t likely to win him any new fans, but it is apt to please followers of The Tragically Hip a lot more than Coke Machine Glow did.
Battle of the Nudes contains its share of artiness, too, some of which works and some of which doesn’t, but one can’t blame the ever-antsy Downie from trying.
In essence, anything Downie does is worth a listen, but for newcomers to the Tragically Hip’s scene, the group’s masterpiece Phantom Power is still the place to start.

 In Music We Trust - Gordon Downie: Battle of the Nudes
If his resume with Tragically Hip isn't reason enough, Downie's sophomore solo record, Battle of the Nudes, will lend credence to that fact.
On the other hand, he does a complete 180 and forges ahead, leaving the Tragically Hip behind him and creating a solo career for himself.
Battle of the Nudes is a rock record.

After digesting Gord Downie’s Battle of the Nudes for a couple of weeks I have to agree with Husky’s theory of first listen.
The vocal harmonies and backing band (The Country of Miracles) on these tracks and on Battle of the Nudes add a new element to his repertoire.
All in all though Battle of the Nudes is positive step forward in Downie’s solo work which showcases his continued growth as an artist and willingness to try new ideas.

So when it came to another solo album, Downie surely had the choice to revisit the "formula" (if you can call it that) that made his last album so memorising: variety, and lots of it.
What we get with Battle of the Nudes, however, is something much more straightforward than any of us could've anticipated.

Antionio del Pollaiuolo (1431-1498) was a renowned Florentine painter, sculptor, draftsman, and goldsmith who was particularly admired for his dynamic and expressive portrayal of the human figure.
He carried out a wide range of projects, but a relatively small number of his works survive, and hs is perhaps most widely known for his magnificent engraving, Battle of the Nudes.
The Cleveland Museum of Art's unique first state of the Battle of the Nudes has long been regarded as the exemplary early impression, printed before the plate began to wear and was supposedly re-engraved by another hand.

 CANOE -- JAM! Music - Artists - Gord Downie Album Review: BATTLE OF THE NUDES
On his 2001 debut solo album, Tragically Hip vocalist Gordon Downie gamely wandered off in new artistic directions, indulging his experimental side with soundscapey songs and addressing his literary aspirations with poetry and spoken-word passages.
On his followup Battle of the Nudes -- in stores Tuesday -- he retraces his steps, heading back toward the more commercial confines of the musical mainstream.
With Battle of the Nudes, Downie hits the mark fair and square.

Battle of the Nudes is Downie's second solo effort, the follow-up to 2001's Coke Machine Glow.
The answer turned out to be to listen to the album again, and yet again.
Battle of the Nudes is a brave album, unlikely to achieve much in terms of chart placement.

It didn't say much else, so I can only presume that it was an exploration of the nude in painting.
The constant layers of the title stayed with me, and the idea of transparency, of fighting with no clothes on - literally, figuratively, and spiritually - very much held an appeal.
So much about 'The Battle' is in perception."

 Gordon Downie - Battle of the Nudes - Review - Stylus Magazine
Much like the musical turns prevalent throughout the record, lyrical continuity is also arrogantly ignored – effortlessly switching from the poetic sincerity of “We’re close to the rail, never more like a candle, in breezes full and fragrant, we begin our estrangement” to the mocking sneer of “We’re not hobbyists or dabblers anymore/ We’re hardcore!
As a collective work, it may not be as wonderfully obtuse and inventive as his debut, but it remains an impressive collection of autonomous songwriting from one of the most unpredictable musicians habitually ignored on the world stage.
While Battle of the Nudes certainly won't change your life, it does offer – like the best of any art – the power to let you view it in a refreshingly unique way.
