Surf Goddesses: Beauty Meets the Beach
Editorial Reviews Book Description Pursuing his thesis that female beauty along with male talent are the twin engines of human evolutionary development, avant garde photographer and filmmaker Sam Kash has devoted this photo monograph to what he refers to as "transcendent beauty"-- rare youthful beauty that cannot be defined in words, but requires actual examples for its definition: "...a beauty that is in flux, that is in radiant bloom, that is arching in time, that may peak on any given day, indeed at any given moment, and then inevitably begin a qualitative change, gone in that constellation forever, never to return to that moment again, except, according to plan, in the next generation borne of that beauty." Much like flowers that bud, then bloom for their fleeting day in the sun, but the difference here is that these rare flowers are each one of a kind. About the Author Sam Kash began his artistic career in New York City as an independent filmmaker. His special interest is in female beauty and nature studies. The first public showing of his film work was in 1981 on Manhattan cable TV. His films continued to be shown periodically in New York until 1987, when he began producing the innovative weekly cable TV show named Mondo Bello, a series on beauty, fashion, music, and art. His experimental, non-linear, non-narrative programs were among the first that capitalized on the special effects and flexible editing capabilities of the then emerging video technology. The underlying concept of his films--beauty for the eyes, music for the ears--has attracted a large local following, and his techniques have influenced many others working in the visual arts. This book represents the first publication of his photographic prints, which consist of frames from his film "Surf Goddesses of Galaxy X: The Principals of Beauty". Writing under another name, he is also the author of books in mathematics and psychology. As such, he is one of very few individuals to have made significant contributions to both the arts and sciences. Surf Goddesses: Beauty Meets the Beach
