5.0 out of 5 stars Artistic masterpiece, Jan 10 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Jock Sturges: New Work 1997-2000 (Hardcover)

I was a little hesitant to order this book because of the price, even though I love Jock Sturges' work, but when it came in the mail I was surprised that it didn't cost more. What an incredible and breath-taking piece of work! The book is huge and the quality of the prints are fantastic! I am so impressed by the lighting and shadows and use of color and exquisite beauty of the models. I can't say enough about it. What a treasure!

5.0 out of 5 stars Innocence & Aesthetic Beauty, July 17 2003

By

Sven (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jock Sturges: New Work 1997-2000 (Hardcover)

As I wrote before in my reviews of 'Last Days of Summer' and 'Radiant Identities'*, Sturges depicts the essence of freedom and a way of life many of us (sadly) have forgotten or never discovered.

What's not to like here? The photography is wonderful and unsurpassed, the binding and printing are high standard, the size is generous and the subjects are gorgeous. This beautiful book is worth every penny!

Of course there are always narrow minded people who might object to the contents of this book, probably the same people who'd object to the Venus the Milo, or 'nude paintings' in a museum. However, for any intelligent and open-minded person there is nothing to object to, just Great Art to enjoy and a valuable lesson about life as it's meant to be.

If you can dig that, you will certainly enjoy the book. If you are still in doubt, do yourself a favour and buy it, and if you give it half a chance, it will enrich your life and broaden your horizon. In a way, you can't afford NOT to buy it...

* Please, see there if you want to read more of my reviews about Sturges' work.

I felt although there were mainly superb photographs that the
presents of his wife Mia was a little incongruous placed amongst
so many young beautiful bodies. I`m sure he may well be biased.

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming and moving
The photographs are moving because of their honesty, gentleness and humanity. The very words I write here cannot even fully describe the sad longing the pictures evoke. Read more
