Uncovered: Women in Word and Image

PM01H Hardcover - Uncovered: Women in Word and Image
!
Over a period of six years, Jordan Matter photographed over 100 women bare-breasted across New York City. They varied in age, education, and profession. Everyone was a volunteer. Every subject faced reactions to her decision to defy convention, and many confronted feelings of shame and inadquacy. But after the shoots, the women were unexpectedly euphoric – and Matter wondered just what he had uncovered.

      Jordan Matter’s Uncovered, with an introduction by Susan Seligson, may be one of today’s most important new contributions to naturist sensibilities in a time of repression, increased human degradation and Internet exploitation. Here comes a truly wonderful and timely rendition of the power and beauty of real women, center-stage in society without the cloak.
      Jordan addresses and takes advantage of New York women’s legal right to be topfree in public where he sets the stage for artistic wonderment. He even credits New York’s police with a sense of  humor, patience, and respect, though he would try to avoid distracting them whenever possible.
     Each image is like a glimpse of sanity, a shining light on real people amidst darkened sensibilities. He make no intentional attempt to flatter the participants’ sense of self as glamour beauties in his photos, though many of them could easily qualify. Instead, he finds deeper meaning and beauty that all participants share; he uncovers the myth, and exposes the power.
      Here are women of New York, uncovered in New York amidst New Yorkers in topfree glory and contrast. The book offers thoughtful presentations of extraordinary moments created in collaboration with each subject. The subjects are not “models,” but women who believed in the importance of this project. These brave uncovered heroines willingly helped to contribute not only their physical participation, but also their thoughts.

Charlie Simonds is an internationally acclaimed photographer and film producer of the naturist lifestyle. His writing and photographs have appeared in naturist magazines around the world, including Naturally magazine and, most notably, to date, his images have graced 95 covers of H&E Naturist.
A committed naturist for over 35 years, Charlie has visited over 30 different naturist resorts around the world in ten different countries to create the Parafotos videos you see in this catalog. He has produced a unique brand of documentary-style naturist films that has garnered him both praise and controversy.

How does one man find so many beautiful women willing to accompany him on his many naturist jaunts? This book will give you not only a glimpse into Charlie’s charismatic personality, but also those of his angels, as he tells about each participant, how they came to be in his videos (and this book of photos), and even some technical notes about the camera equipment he uses. Mark Nisbet, former editor of H&E Naturist, and Alison Brown who can be seen in several of the earlier Parafotos productions, introduce the book with glowing commentary and recollections. 196 pages, full color.

In this sequence of contemporary classical black-and-white portratits, Mohr presents his most rigorous and most uncompromising opus thus far.

Family Nudes

PE21H Hardcover - Family Nudes
!
by Ralf Mohr - Imported from Germany - This huge volume of exquisite photographs depict in an inimitable way that sense of trust developed between parents and their children, and just how normal it is to be close to each other, skin touching skin.
The pictures exude love: the perhaps greatest and deepest love developed by the parents for their children. Mother, father, the son and the daughter are all naked, because they revel in the beauty and the strength of their own bodies. And because they realize that clothing is often something in which we hide ourselves in order to present what is in fact not us at all. Mohr's work aptly depicts the individuality of each person and his images, and simultaneously manages to show his subjects' strength and weaknesses, allowing an honest picture of each participant. Text is in German, English, French, and Italian. 240 pages, 255 full-color and duo-tone photographs. 11¾"x11¾".

Gary Schneider: Nudes

PA70H Hardcover - Gary Schneider: Nudes
!
In this previously unpublished body of work, Gary Schneider presents a haunting series of nudes that emerge and seem to float above a receding black background.
Each image is "painted" with light and through long exposures, as Schneider explores the surfaces of the skin with a small handheld light. This technique embeds the artist's sensibility, and his obsessions are reflected by how he exposes certain areas more than others. The skin-tones are lush and luminous as they emerge from the darkness. Yet, these portraits also disturb as a result of the exaggerations and irregularities — the blurred traces of unconscious gestures combine with a stiffness that implies the innate physicality and mortality within each body. 80 pages with 40 four-color images. 9.25” x 18”.

Naked Happy Girls

New York Undressed, by Andrew Einhorn
Andrew Einhorn, a self-professed "nice Jewish boy" from the suburbs," has made a career out of approaching passersby. He asks them to get naked. This being New York, some of them actually say yes. He exhibits a genuine interest in learning (and telling) their stories, and he has an uncanny knack for putting strangers at ease. He's even managed to sweet-talk a few waitresses into disrobing, and everyone knows they're the toughest gals this city breeds. And he does it all on rollerblades.
Einhorn has a photojournalist's eye, and like a good reporter, he lets his subjects speak for themselves, rather than using them as actors in a story he's already contrived. Fortunately, he's not encumbered by a journalist's responsibility to stay neutral: He'll share a few beers, hand her the camera, maybe even get naked if she thinks it'll even the playing field. Einhorn actually likes the women he shoots, and you can tell they can tell. No moody nudes: They Look warm, they look playful, and they're giggling. They're, well, they're happy girls. And they're naked. B&W photos, 368 pages, 7½" x 5½".

Naked New York - Greg Friedler

SN01S Softcover - Naked New York - Greg Friedler
!
This book is the manifestation of photographer Greg Friedler’s desire to document the various types of people who exist within humanity, a desire driven by my intense curiosity in what people do, how they live, and in their existence.
Each photograph is of a person clothed and naked in order to show the two sides of the same person, the public as well as the private. The clothed version, as they are seen everyday in society, is only part of the truth. It is almost as if we were blind. The blind can only achieve one sense of a person through their hearing, just as we, the sighted, only have one sense of a clothed individual. You will find it an extraordinary coffee-table book worthy of your naturist sensibilities.

Robert Mapplethorpe and the Classical Tradition

PA55H Hardcover - Robert Mapplethorpe and the Classical Tradition
!
This groundbreaking book explores the relationship between the photography of Robert Mapplethorpe and Classical art, in particular through Mannerist engravings and sculpture. The pairing of works is among the first collaborations between the Guggenheim Museum and the State Hermitage Museum.
Robert Mapplethorpe and the Classical Tradition exemplifies the artist’s rapport with the elongated and elaborate forms of Mannerist art, namely the study of the human body, highlighting the underlying classicism evident in the clarity and potency of all Mapplethorpe’s subjects, as well as their explosive energy. The classical ideal was not only a poetic inspiration but also an ethical model and, in his creative quest, Mapplethorpe described photography as “the perfect way to make a sculpture.” The potency of love and Eros, which electrifies many of the Mannerist works shown here, is articulated again in the work of Mapplethorpe. The vital anatomical forms of his portraits of models such as bodybuilder Lisa Lyons and the statuesque Derrick Cross find their roots in Antiquity, and here they find their mirror in the likes of Jan Harmensz Muller’s Sabine woman and Jacob Matham’s Apollo. The Hermitage’s superb collection of Italian painting and sculpture amply illustrates the course of Italian art from the Middle Ages to the 18th century and includes an impressive collection of Mannerist works. Approximately 50 Mannerist works from the Hermitage collection are paired with the same number of works by Mapplethorpe from the Guggenheim’s collection. Hardcover, 10” x 11”; 208 pgs. 168 color.

He prefers to work not with professional models but with girls he encounters in everyday situations, attracted and fascinated by their shyness, lack of inhibitions and natural charisma.

Sally Mann: Immediate Family

PA40S Softcover - Sally Mann: Immediate Family
!
Mann shares with her readers glimpses into the life of her family and its children.
Taken against the Arcadian backdrop of her woodland home in Virginia, these photos reveal a family so familiar and comfortable with their familial roles that only the photographer seems concerned with the nuances that shape these lives. We, as readers, feel like family members as we share the unposed events that define this family. Sally Mann's three children, Emmett, Jessie, and Virginia, experience the type of clothing-optional, adventurous, and playful childhood that seems almost utopian. Her work has been described as eroticising children. Indeed the children, often nude or partially clothed, present sensual poses to the photographer. However, Mann argues that these are the innocent poses of children that are often times misinterpreted by adults. Softcover, Black/White.

Wilhelm W. Reinke: QUOTATIONS IN NUDES

PA03H Hardcover - Wilhelm W. Reinke: QUOTATIONS IN NUDES
!
In this, him most recent published work, the photographer Wilhelm W. Reinke explores literature through the medium of photography in search of the images hidden within it.
In the process, he reverses Horace’s formula ut pictura poesis: far from striving for a depiction of naturein his staged photographs, he seeks to visualize the poetry and the diverse dictions of is literary models. The nudity of the biblical figures and characters from ancient and modern literary classics Reinke presents in staged scenes in an expression of his intention to provide a clear view of the "bare" image, the body from the viewpoint of literature, which in his work is always a duality: corpus hominis et carminis. In a certain sense, Wilhelm W Reinke distills the imagery of poetry and presents it in concentrated form. In his staged photographic scenes showing figures such as Cain and Abel, Goethe’s Mephisto, Schiller’s Joan of Orleans and many others, the metaphorical quality of literary language is translated into a symbolism that is applied with utmost economy. 84 pages, 12 ½" x 9 ¾".
