Frank Horvat: Very Similar

Editorial Reviews Book Description This is a collection of portraits of women using well known paintings as a point of reference. Horvat explores not only the themes of history and portraiture but also illuminates the ways in which women have been viewed over generations. The portraits are not bound by contemporary notions of beauty or the dictates of fashion, nor are they bare imitations of famous paintings. Instead they manage to transcend the elaborate artificiality of their settings to capture qualities of individual beauty which are timeless and unchanging. About the Author Frank Horvat is one of the world's leading photographers.
