This exquisite volume showcases a collection of raw, provocative portraits, nudes, and snapshots of quotidian life shot over the past seventy years by one of photography's greatest image makers--Victor Skrebneski.
Skrebneski Documented is an intimate compendium of photographs shot over the past seven decades by the illustrious Chicago-based photographer Victor Skrebneski. Edited by the photographer himself, this evocative collection features his best-known images, including his series of "black-turtleneck-sweater portraits"--dramatic black-and-white portraits of iconic stars including Liza Minnelli, Bette Davis, and Orson Welles; dynamic, blurry motion studies; provocative nude photographs of flawless, sculpted bodies; and Dadaist collages comprised of body parts.
Capturing the experimental, boundary-pushing spirit and unceasing wit of Skrebneski's images, this volume documents a who's who of famous faces, including portraits of Andy Warhol, Audrey Hepburn, Vanessa Redgrave, David Bowie, Iman, John Malkovich, Dennis Hopper, Fred Astaire, and Diana Ross. For photography, art, and fashion lovers alike, this is a true collector's item that celebrates the exhilarating work by one of America's greatest photographic artists.
