Muscular black male bodies, handsome faces, seemingly classical picture construction, ironic-erotic innuendo - all these combine to create this sensational new work from New York photographer John Healy. Since Mapplethorpe, there has not been a photographer of black men whose work is infused with such erotic obsession. This fresh new talent is proudly presented by Bruno Gmunder and is sure to become a well established name in the future.

A must have,
By "advenire" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: John Healy: Black (Hardcover)
I really like this book. I actually bought it for one image (the cover actually). Unlike [images]... of women, it's very hard to find images of men, black or white that are not homoerotic. There is nothing wrong with homoeroticism (some of the images in this book are and they are wonderfully done) but as a woman sometimes I just want to see a male [image]... without feeling as though I am looking at him through that particular lens. It is VERY nice to see a black men portrayed so beautifully. I recommend this book highly.

One of the BEST BOOKS of 2001 !!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: John Healy: Black (Hardcover)
An exquisite collection of new black & white photographs from renown British photographer John Healy, this is stirring testimony to both the beauty of the black male nude as well as the incredible power of fine art portraiture. Healy has crafted such potent imagery here that one feels completely lifted from the premise that they are viewing a book and instead feel transported to another stratosphere where light and form and mood command total attention of one's consciousness. The technical refinement of each image is obvious but what really sets this work apart is the masterful way that Healy poses his subjects. They grace each page totally and utterly possessing it.
