Joel-Peter Witkin (Photofile)

by: Eugenia Parry Janis
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.

Joel-Peter Witkin

by: Eugenia Parry
This book is kind of freaky. I purchased it for the reason that it is freaky. I got it because I was born after the eras of carnival sideshows. It has a lot of disturbing images... well to most people I assume. This guy probably could have taken those pictures of aborted fetuses that people stand with on the corner. Yeah grotesque like that. One photograph is of a dead horse hoisted above someone with a huge erection next to their head. Keep an open mind if you want to get this book. As a side the photographic technique is excellent.

Aperture: On Location With : Annie Leibovitz, Lorna Simpson, Susan Meiselas, Cindy Sherman, Adam Fuss, Joel-Peter Witkin, Jon Goodman

by: Aperture
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.
