Joel-Peter Witkin (b.1939) is one of the most well-known and
controversial photographic artists working today
This accessible and affordable monograph is the best
introduction to Witkin's fascinating and thought-provoking work
available
Drawing as much from the art of the past – Bosch, Goya,
Velazquez, and the Symbolists – as from his own inspiration,
Witkin's expression is multi-faceted and rich with meaning
His deviant and imaginative tableaux transform the genre of
still life by featuring animal and human corpses and body parts in
classic, beautiful arrangements
Witkin also chooses the deformed, the scarred and the unusual
as his subjects, reinterpreting the nineteenth-century fascination
with the 'other'
His obsession with human physicality raises important questions
about the body and sexuality, and finds beauty in the
grotesque
