Synopsis

Many of these plates have appeared in Sturges' Last Days of Summer, 1991 and in Radiant Identities, 1994. The earlier books were printed in a very exacting Italian plant in great duotone. The current work, printed in Germany, manifests much less craft, but many more photos (159). These pictures must arouse the ire and stir the fascist impulses of the FBI: young women, full-front, no fig leaves as did Last Days.... We remember with glee the dressing down the court gave the FBI after their raid on Sturges' S.F. studio. Buy this book if only to condemn censorship. Includes a 12-page text insert. Distributed by Distributed Art Publishers. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Synopsis:

In this volume, Sturges presents his fullest, most personal vision of his work. Selections from series that extend across many years dispel the aura of sensationalism that has dogged his work, revealing his close, long-term relationships with many subjects. From his "Misty Dawn" series showing a young California girl coming of age (1987-95), to "Marine", showing a girl on a French nudist beach (1987-95), it is clear that Sturges's subjects know and trust him. Included here are over 130 previously unpublished images.
