Klaus Honnef, Vera Friederich

Edition Stemmle, 1998

Nude Men seen through the camera of a Woman
Finally an artistic book on a subject where sex/gay eroticism is the usual! Vera, a woman photographer, shows us her men with art, from head to toes with a lot sensibility. She plays with the shapes and shadows without been vulgar anytime and proves that you can show something artistic without showing it all. One of the best book on the subject for black & white lovers!

About life...
That's the first thought after viewing and reading this book. Munkacsi's photography is about the joy of living. A refreshing look at life... If you like Cartier-Bresson, you'll centainly love Munkacsi. Recommended to anyone in love with photography.

A woman photographs men - and wow!
Herlinde Koelbl: A German woman photographs men. Another lone pioneer in the era of women's lib exploring erotic photography. Published 1984. Very tender and intimate portrais of men and men's bodies. Strong men made vulnerable! I have yet to find another phographer who takes it there like Koelbl does. Her subjects are a mix of ages, races, and body types, from muscular to skinny; they are not ...

Karl Ruhrberg, Manfred Schneckenburger, ...

Taschen, 1998

Excellent value
Taschen does it again. This comprehensive guide covers an extrodinary amount of 20th century art beginning with impressionism to the 1990's. Everything from sculpture, painting and photography is gone over here, as well as the movements that changed and influenced them. Full color photos and artist bios included. A little gem of a book. Well fairly large gem, hell, lets call it a 10 pound stone. ...

Helmut Newton: Portraits

Schirmer/Mosel, 2004

A Unique Collection of Portraits
The British photographer Sir Anthony Snowdon once said something to the effect that you cannot look at a photograph and identify who shot it. He couldn't have been more wrong about someone like Helmut Newton. You recognize many of his photographs immediately. They are often of women (tall and svelte), they are erotic thought according to Newton not violent, they are often shot at night with ...

Melanie Manchot Love Is a Stranger: Photographs1998-2001 (Photography)

Melanie Manchot, Klaus Honnef, ...

Prestel, 2001

Wild and startling views of intimacy
Melanie Manchot uses the camera lens like a hard question and sensuous caress. It shows, despite what some of the over-written essay material by art critics contained in her book may assert, that her own ambivalence toward social norms along with her sense of the erotic are the source of her inspiration to produce stark, confrontational, yet paradoxically intimate photographs. Love is a Stranger, ...

Andy Warhol, 1928-1987: Commerce Into Art (Basic Art)
Klaus Honnef

Taschen, 2000

Andy Warhol is recognized today as the most important exponent of the Pop Art movement. He overturned the traditional understanding of art and placed in its stead a concept that retracts the individuality of the artist. Warhol was a critical observer of American society, exposing his compatriots' consumerism in his paintings ("Campbell-" and "Brillo" series), as well as their fascination for sensational journalism. In 1963 Warhol founded his ...

Andreas Horlitz: Works
Irene Netta, Sibylle Omlin, ...

Verlag Fur Moderne Kunst Nurnberg, 2005

The first monograph on Andreas Horlitz's work over a quarter century covers an engaging richness of artistic strategies. After beginning as a prizewinning photographer, Horlitz turned to word-and-picture constructions, experiments with Xerox reproductions, and, recently, mirror-and-light works and architecturally related, site-specific projects. Throughout his career, language, either textual or scientific, has figured large--in one case as ...
