A collaboration between artist Vera Lehndorff (sixties fashion icon Veruschka and star of the Antonioni film Blow Up) and painter/photographer Holger Trulzsch. Much-celebrated images of Vera's body as canvas for intricate paintings of clothes, nature, and architecture in various states of disrepair, sometimes subsequently placed against backgrounds of the same, for a trompe-l'oeuil effect. The mood of the photos ranges from humorous to the curious, thought-provoking to the erotic. A sought-after title, considered highly innovative and affecting. [Book ID # 1684]
