The Beautiful Boy is a book by radical feminist academic Germaine Greer, published in 2003 as The Boy in the Commonwealth by Thames & Hudson and in the rest of the world by Rizzoli.[1] Its avowed intention was "to advance women's reclamation of their capacity for and right to visual pleasure".[2][3][4] The book is a study of the youthful male face and form, from antiquity to the present day, from paintings and drawings to statuary and photographs.
The book was the subject of controversy due to its cover photo and topic matter. The subject of the book's cover picture, Björn Andrésen, stated that his permission was not attained for the photo's use.[5][6][7] Some writers characterised the book's nature as paedophilic.[8][9][7]
Critical reception was largely positive towards the book's illustrative value as a photo-book, but mixed towards its textual and theoretical value.
