Synopsis

<div id="description_text_headlines" class="margin-bottom"><strong>Sweet cheeks:&#160;A cornucopia of delectable derri&#232;res</strong></div><div class="margin-bottom">&#160;</div><div class="description_text"><div id="description_text" class="margin-bottom">The&#160;<em>Kama Sutra</em>&#160;gives detailed instructions on how to spank it. Contemporary Italians touch it for luck before placing a bet. Americans are having it cosmetically enhanced at rates approaching breast enlargement surgery.&#160;<strong>The female butt, tush,&#160;<em>culo</em>, or derri&#232;re has always inspired awe, fantasy, and slavish devotion.</strong><br><br>Curiously, its primary purpose is functional rather than aesthetic: butts balance our bodies while running, according to biologists. But ask any pygophiliac&#8212;as fundament fans are clinically termed&#8212;and you&#8217;ll get the same answer: female hindquarters exist to please the eye, the hands, and parts south. A pert posterior causes instant arousal, as Zora Neale Hurston observed in<em>&#160;Their Eyes Were Watching God</em>: "The men noticed her firm buttocks like she had grape fruits in her hip pockets." Or, as rapper Sir Mix-a-lot proclaimed, "My anaconda don&#8217;t want none, unless you&#8217;ve got buns, hun."<br><br>Having all but disappeared from western culture in the breast-obsessed second half of the 20th century, the fully formed fanny is currently enjoying a massive resurgence, attributed by some to American actress&#160;<strong>Jennifer Lopez</strong><strong>,</strong>&#160;by others to the rise of booty-centric hip hop culture. Yet this rage for shapely butts is nothing new. The ancient Greeks worshipped at the temple of Aphrodite Kallipygos, Goddess of the Beautiful Buttocks, while a womanly rump has always been an object of worship in most of the southern hemisphere.<br><br><strong><em>The Big Butt Book</em>&#160;explores this perennial fascination with female booty</strong>&#8212;from small and taut to large and sumptuous&#8212;in the fourth installment of Dian Hanson&#8217;s critically acclaimed body parts series. Over 400 photos from 1900 to the present day, including works by&#160;<strong>Elmer Batters, Ellen von Unwerth, Jean-Paul Goude, Ralph Gibson, Richard Kern, Jan Saudek, Ed Fox, Terry Richardson</strong>&#160;and&#160;<strong>Sante D&#8217;Orazio,</strong>&#160;of butts ranging from petite&#160;<strong>Pam Anderson</strong>&#8217;s to sumptuous&#160;<strong>Serena Williams</strong>&#8217;, are contextualized by interviews with porn icon&#160;<strong>John (Buttman) Stagliano</strong>, filmmaker&#160;<strong>Tinto Brass,</strong>&#160;artist&#160;<strong>Robert Crumb,</strong>&#160;bootylicious butt queens&#160;<strong>Buffie The Body, Coco</strong>&#160;and Brazil&#8217;s&#160;<strong>Watermelon Woman,</strong>&#160;plus&#160;<strong>Eve Howard</strong>&#160;and her life-long spanking obsession.</div><div class="margin-bottom">&#160;</div><div class="margin-bottom">Text in English, French, and German</div></div>
