In 1972, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada. He was a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. From the blurb Like an underground river flowing through Western culture, the Greek gods have sent up springs and fountains inspiring and fertilizing the western imagination for more than twenty centuries. Adrianna Stassinopoulos explores the gods not as poetic fancies but as vital forces alive in us today. The gods and goddesses are visually evoked in Roloff Beny's magnificent photographs. Many of them were taken specifically for this book, but included also are unpublished images from visits to Greece over a period of twenty years. This book contains 126 photographs, including 40 plates in full color. This book, 216 pages measuring 280mm X 225mm, is in fine condition in a fine dust jacket, that is now enclosed in a protective mylar wrap. This large and heavy book will require additional postage.
