5.0 out of 5 stars take the left hand path again with Charles Gatewood, April 21 2002

Rae Schwarz "post-modern Renaissance woman" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Primitives: Tribal Body Art And The Left Hand Path (Paperback)

For those of you who may have missed it the first time around, here is the beautiful second edition printing of PRIMITIVES. First released in 1992, no one had ever seen anything like Gatewood's collection of black and white portraits before, depicting such a wide range of body art and individual expression.

Schooled as an anthropologist, Gatewood has fused his education with his love of photography, and has followed and documented U.S. subcultures for the past three decades.

Portraits include many (now) well-known figures: father of Modern Primitivism Fakir Musafar, London tattooist Alex Binnie, performance artist Ron Athey, piercer Elayne Binnie, writer/performer Lily (then Braindrop) Burana. Sadly several portraits are now memorials: writer Marco Vassi, Sailor Sid, sideshow performer Michael Wilson.

The reproduction values of Gatewood's duotones are good in this edition, there is a new color cover photo, and a new introduction by Gatewood.
