Humans
In this exquisitely produced book, Henry Horenstein
explores the landscape of the human body in his unique photographic
style. Large prints, grainy and soft in focus, witness the noted
photographer's observant eye: Close-up details of body parts, like
a beautifully shaped upper lip, an elbow, wrinkles, and hair gain
a new lyrical, intimate quality. However, Horenstein's sensuous
images never give way to aesthetic perfection, instead they are
surprising, sometimes weird, and even odd.
