Gary Schneider: Nudes
ISBN: 9781931788625 / Angielski / Twarda / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this previously unpublished body of work, Gary Schneider presents a haunting series of nudes and faces that emerge and seem to float above a receding black ground.

Due to the prolonged time required and the inevitable movements and consequent distortions that occur in the process, the results both reveal and obscure the intimate physical details and personality of the individual who poses. The sensibility and the obsessions of the artist are reflected by his decisions to...
