A wonderful book, a beautiful object,
By Brian (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Storybook Life (Hardcover)
Although I agree that there are images in this book which should not be included, this is a nice concept piece considered as a whole. And I do somewhat disagree with those that say the landscape photography is weak. I find some of it to be quite striking. One in particular is probably one of the subtlest and most striking landscapes I have seen in recent publications. It's unfair to compare Philip-Lorca diCorcia's work with that of Thomas Struth and Andreas Gursky. This book is wonderful, and well worth the investment.

A VERY POWERFUL AND PERSONAL COLLECTION OF IMAGES,
By A Customer
This review is from: Storybook Life (Hardcover)
According to Vince Auletti in the Village Voice "What makes "A Storybook Life" so enthralling isn't diCorcia's proven skill at crafting a convincing fiction, it's his ability to invest the whole nearly indigestible enterprise with feeling: longing, confusion, regret, tenderness, dismay, love, and, above all, a kind of bruised optimism. It's the accumulated weight of this emotion-however muffled, disguised, or denied-that gives the work its power as a piece. DiCorcia is no sentimentalist; he's far too smart and too subtle. He's not spilling his guts, he's constructing a riddle that even he doesn't know the answer to. All the more surprising that, in the end, he's also created a piece that doesn't seem to be just about his life, but ours." I could not have said it better myself.
