A beautiful book of black and white nudes from photographer Martin H. Schreiber. Born in Prague, Czechoslovakia, Martin Schreiber immigrated to the United States in 1952. During the turbulent ’60’s, he dropped out of college and fatefully joined the Army, where he went to photo lab school. Taking up photography full time after the service, Schreiber went on to teach and lecture at the New School/Parsons in New York. Returning to his European roots, he presently lives outside Paris. His work has been published internationally in every major magazine and has been the subject of over 40 group and solo exhibitions. His latest book is Last Of A Breed, a photo essay on the western cowboys of America.
Preface:
“A woman’s body is stretched out, nude, so close to the lens that her face and lower legs are outside the frame. In the far distance, shore and treeline stretch out in answering horizontals. With the body brought up to the scale of buildings and sky, the scale of landscape, these photographs by Martin Schreiber name themselves: Bodyscapes. The world is no longer the background for the body. The two are unified.”
