"Although perhaps best regarded as a leading fashion photographer with a long list of elegant clients, Skrebneski is admired principally for his skilled interpretation of a form, whether literal or abstract, sinuous or muscular. Skrebneski has always been interested in the opportunities photography affords, including the continual reinvention of memory, place and time." "Skrebneski: The First Fifty Years features 130 of the photographer's finest works, ranging from stark portraits of such celebrities as Bette Davis, Orson Welles, Dennis Hopper, Truman Capote, Liza Minnelli and Vanessa Redgrave, to exquisitely inventive fashion shots, to Francis Bacon-like studies of the human body. This book has been edited and designed by the photographer himself."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
