Ruth Bernhard:Eternal Body 2011: The Eternal Body: A Collection of Fifty Nudes - Tapa dura

In print for 25 years and now available as an elegant hardcover, "Ruth Bernhard: The Eternal Body" is the first collection of Bernhard's finest nudes to be presented in a single monograph. In her private quest to 'simplify, isolate, and give emphasis to form with greatest clarity,' Bernhard passionately created a collection of images that rank among the most profound photographs of the female nude. Her intense, studied camera work produced images of the human form that clearly transcend the boundaries between the spirit and the flesh.

RUTH BERNHARD (1905-2006) has been widely noted as one of the most significant artists of our time. Throughout a career that spanned over 70 years, Bernhard studied and worked with some of the century's most influential photographers, including Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Imogen Cunningham, and Minor White. Honoured by numerous exhibitions internationally, her photographs have been acquired extensively by Museums, Universities, and private collectors across the globe and have been reproduced in countless publications.
