Arthur Tress Books

The definitive monograph on this American artist's work, this book includes photographs from Tress' earliest collections, long out-of-print, such as "The Dream Collector" and "Theater of the Mind." It also includes his surrealistic staged portraits from the 1970s and 1980s. Tress' work is allegorical, fantastic, and grotesque--sometimes humorous, sometimes deadly serious. A beautifully reproduced collection, with numerous male nudes.

Photographs of unusual still lifes describe the development of ideas, exploration, and the judgement of visions

Photographs provide surreal images of New York City, children, homosexual fantasies, shadows, machines, and bizarre still lifes

Tress' third book. Trade paperback. Unpaginated (94 pages); 84 full-page b&w photographic plates plus 11 photographic text illustrations; 9 x 9 inches.
