Diana Michener: Twenty-Eight Figure Studies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783869308968)

Photographic transformations of porn in all its hyperreality and tarnished gloss

In her black-and-white pictures, artist Diana Michener (born 1940) repurposes stills from pornographic films and transforms them into ambiguous and expressive images, which maintain an emotional--rather than an explicit--tenor. Her impressionistic works are reproduced here.
