More about the book
It isn't enough to say that Howard Schatz admires dancers. He adores them. Schatz' pictures are not about dance; they are photographs of dancers as phenomenal graceful and powerful; explosive or ecstatic in motion, elegant and elemental while at rest. There is more to dance than bodies, but without bodies there is no dance. And however much natural beauty a dancer may have, years of training and a daily regimen that might break an Olympic rower, produce human forms that are nothing less than masterpieces of kinetic sculpture.In Passion & Lies, Schatz interprets these hard-won creations through his art, combining exploration and adoration in equal measure.
