5.0 out of 5 stars Before Her Time, Jan 26 2004
By 
Ava Larkin (Tennessee, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Imogen Cunningham On the Body (Hardcover)
Imogen Cunningham brings to light an eye for the simplest beauty. The photographs contained within this book are diverse with studies in children, families, the male nude, the female nude, textures in nature and some in more familiar home environs. I am particularly fond of her portraits in the book as well as her fleshier pieces. She has absolutely beautiful composition and creates incredible foils for the human skin to be set off by. I love to use the book's photographs for reference when I am painting. It is an essential in my collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fine Art Photography Finely Presented, July 17 2002

Grady Harp (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Imogen Cunningham On the Body (Hardcover)
The beauty of the works of Imogen Cunningham to this day remain staggering. Knowing that the photographs are early contributions to the genre of nude photography is even more amazing. Yes, compared to some of today's art photographers the poses may appear a bit static and stagey, but the quality of composition, of light and shadow, of clarity of vision is still hard to match. This is an historically important volume and one of great beauty. The accompanying essay is brief but sensitive and informative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Imogen at her finest, Oct 18 2001
By 
Peter Hoyles (Jacksonville, Florida USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Imogen Cunningham On the Body (Hardcover)
It is astonishing to think that the images Imogen made came from such an early age in photography. Starting in 1906, Imogen made pictures of the human body that stand out as the finest today. These images have been lusciously reproduced in this book that plots the history and progress of Imogen through her career. What a pioneering career it must have been. The subjects of her lens were almost unheard of in those days where the showing of an ankle was scandalous. She makes no technical concessions whatever; each exposure is exactly in needle-sharp focus and rendered in smooth gradual tones of the highest quality process. She must have had strict discipline to technical detail to have consistently produced this quality of images, there is no other way. I would have loved to have known her. The things she could tell a fellow photographer must have been volumes. You cannot be disappointed by this book.
