5.0 out of 5 stars Artistic Accomplishment, July 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Male Bonding (Fotofactory Anthology Series Book 1) (Hardcover)

"Of all the male-oriented photo books that arrive every year in time for the holidays, Male Bonding stands out for both the variety and artistic accomplishment of its images. Forty-two different artists, including Arthur Tress, Clifford Baker, Hans Fahrmeyer, and Bill Costa, are represented. (This) will appeal to anyone interested in fine art photography." - review excerpt from CB at A Different Light Books

This review is from: MALE BONDING (FOTOFACTORY ANTHOLOGY SERIES 1) (Hardcover)

MALE BONDING is a fine collection of photographs, 99 in number by 42 of the finest photographers of the genre. The theme is the title of the book and the variations of reflections on the concept of male bonding is broad, at times sensuous, at times heroic and at all times very well done.

The photographs are all in black and white, reproduced on high quality paper by FOTOFACTORY, and vary in size from full bleed to quietly bordered in different styles. Some of the more familiar artists include Robert Irwin, John Sonsini, Kristen Bjorn, Arthur Tress and Harriet Leibowitz, but that is not to say the remaining artists are not exceptional. This is a quality book that allows the viewer to discover the full spectrum of men with men and the dialog these images create is fascinating and thought provoking. Grady Harp, July 09
