Product Description
Product Description
Andreas Bitesnich focuses his camera on the contours and surfaces of the human body - male and female figures transformed into timeless works of art. His nude "forms" are erotic and highly charged yet simple. In a departure from his established work, he has shot most of this collection in luminous colour. Here is a celebration of the human body revealed in striking photographs of energy, originality and artistry.
About the Author
Andreas H. Bitesnich started his career as a commercial photographer but is now widely exhibited and respected in the art world. He has published several books with teNeues including On Form, Nudes, Polanude and Woman.

A True Work of Art!,
By
This review is from: On Form (Hardcover)
This is not just a book, nor is it just a packaged portfolio of images - this is a true work of art. On Form is such a grand example of perfection that describing it as anything less than a work of art is criminal. From the flawless ensemble put together by te Neus to the larger-than-life photography contained within, this is easily one of the best books of 2003 and may be Bitesnich's greatest book yet. It's huge at 11x14" and most images flood the page from edge-to-edge. There are over 200 pages of nude photography that is so powerful it's almost impossible to take it all in during one sitting. This requires a double espresso, a giant Jamaican spliff and/or a pack of Marlboro's, maybe even lunch. This is less a book and more a museum visit.Bitesnich covers the form of both sexes here, and if ever the human body were portrayed as a work of art, it's here. The lighting, the composition, the flowing muscularity, the shape, and form of all within are possessed of a god-like perfection never so exquisitely rendered by a photographic artist.

On Form is On Target,
By grafxmaker (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: On Form (Hardcover)
A masterful work! Really. His lighting and use of color make these images more sophisticated and impactful than even his earlier black and white photographs - which are amazing. On Form isn't just the display of beautful bodies, it is highly acomplished art from a photographer who shows what it means to become a master of the human form.

remarkable visual inquiry,
By drollere (Sebastopol, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: On Form (Hardcover)
this large format and beautifully printed book is one of the most interesting traversals of the human form i have seen. bitesnich takes a "classical" approach to the nude -- lightly oiled, strongly lit, crisply focused -- but gives it an edgy twist through his choice of models (including a transsexual and an amputee) and his clean yet innovative poses. the variety of printing techniques, lighting, contrast and settings, and the many beautiful models, give the collection a remarkable scope and interest within bitesnich's consistently austere yet lyrical style. a real pleasure.
