DESCRIPTION:
. About the Author David Robinson lives in San Francisco
David Robinson's exquisite photographs reveal the angelic beauty and mystery of these lifelike sculptures. Many cemeteries in Europe are strewn with shockingly sensual sculptures of women. They are idealized creations-young, gorgeous, elaborately posed, and beautifully sculpted. In her foreword, Joyce Carol Oates explores the many implications of these grief-stricken, extremely provocative female figures.
Dawn said Beautiful pictures, nicely done but. Lovely pictures, I love old marble statues and graveyards. If you're the same way, you will love this book. If I could change anything, I wish they made this book larger so the pictures would have a greater impact (rather small book). Also, if there was a little history behind each of the statues or graveyards they reside in, even the information on the stones such as the date or some of the sayings - I think that would have helped the reader 'be there' and feel the dramatic impact these fine sculptures already make. Though I really get into the moment with the statues and the people they represent, for me that would help me connect.Over. Talent & Beauty Together!! Amazing, amazing!! This book of beautiful 19th century female cemetary statues from Europe is truly a treasure to own. The photographer/author has done a remarkable job of capturing the emotions and grief of death shown in these intriguing "Women of Stone." The background information he gives is quite informative and you should enjoy this book for years to come. As one who enjoys photographing female cemetary statues for years, I will cherish this book!!. Five Stars The book arrived exactly as advertised and on time.
