In the world of iconic publishing company, Taschen, anything goes - well at least as long as it is deemed to occupy the somewhat questionable boundaries of what is art and popular culture. For centuries, the rounded curves of the female form have attracted interest among many - especially the hypnotic allure of a large and shapely breast. So Dian Hanson, a twenty-five-year veteran of men’s magazine publishing has decided to publish this phenomenon in a book - The Big Book of Breasts. Dian Hanson explores the origins of mammary madness through three decades of natural big-breasted nudes. Starting with the World War II Bosom-Mania that spawned Russ Meyer, Howard Hughes’s The Outlaw and Frederick’s of Hollywood, Dian guides you over, around, and in between the dangerous curves of infamous models including Michelle Angelo, Candy Barr, Virginia Bell, Joan Brinkman, and dozens more, including Guinness World Record holder Norma Stitz, possessor of the World’s Largest Natural Breasts. The 396 pages of this book contain the most beautiful and provocative photos ever created of these iconic women, plus nine original interviews, including the first with Tempest Storm and Uschi Digard in over a decade, and the last with Candy Barr before her untimely death in 2005. In a world where silicone is now the norm, these spectacular real women stand as testament that nature knows best.
