Joel Peter Witkin: [ Main ] | [ Videos ]
WARNING: amazon seems to have merged (a little TOO conveniently) reviews for two DIFFERENT BOOKS. Some reviews listed here refer to "Joel-Peter Witkin (Phaidon 55s)" by Eugenia Parry (Paperback - January 5, 2001) - with pinkish border around a photograph on the cover. But this book seems to be out of print.
My review refers to a 2007 Photology series book (all b&W cover with the image of a head and lillies). They are not the same book, or even two editions of the same book.

The classic Photofile series brings together the best work of the world's greatest photographers in an attractive format and at a reasonable price. Handsome and collectible, the books each contain some sixty reproductions, plus a critical introduction and a bibliography.
With his focus on the "disagreeable beauty" of the anomalous and the transgressive, Joel-Peter Witkin's images are edgy and disturbing. Influenced by artists from Giotto to the Surrealists, by daguerreotypes and the work of Bellocq, his portraits and complex tableaux incorporating corpses, hermaphrodites, masks, and mutilation provoke and challenge the viewer.

This is a relatively short book, but the content gives you a glimpse that you rarely get: photographers talking about specific images and the way they work. There are plenty of "interview" books with excellent lens-based artists, and I have many if not most of them. This one gives you specific commentary. The pictures are nice too. Many of them are not that common, at least to me.
