Ladies
: Retold Tales of Goddesses and Heroines
Doris
Vallejo, Boris
Vallejo
1999 - 192 pages
7 pages consultables
sur amazon
|
In Ladies' ten signature paintings and numerous drawings,
Boris Vallejo depicts the magic time when goddesses roamed the earth; they are
the perfect accompaniment to Doris Vallejo's poetic and chilling retelling of
ten classic tales.
This is myth transfigured by a modern sensibility: retelling mythic tales
from the points of view of the goddesses, heroines, sorceresses, princesses,
wives, and daughters. Readers see Persephone, condemned by a god's adoration to
live six months of each year in the kingdom of death; the Gorgon, a great beauty
transformed into monstrosity by her own longing to be loved; Apollo's mortal
bride, Coronis, left behind each time her godly husband returned to the heavens;
and Pandora, who discovered knowledge no mortal was meant to have and paid the
price. |

Hindsight
: Boris Vallejo, His Photographic Art
2000 - 128 pages
amazon
|
Boris Vallejo decided to create this photographic paean to the
female derriere partly as a tribute and partly as a challenge: "After all, I
asked myself, how many ways can you present one body part?" Hindsight, now in
paperback, answers that question. In 100 color and black-and-white images,
Vallejo renders the object of his (admitted) obsession with elegance and
eroticism. In Hindsight, Vallejo returns to the heart of his inspiration - his
love for the human body. He brings to this work the same classic composition and
eye for the artistic potential of the body that enliven his paintings. His many
fans, as well as photography and erotic art lovers of every kind, will find his
exploration of a subject rarely touched upon a refreshing departure from other
photography books. |
