Presents William Carter's "Eighteen Nudes". Luminous female nudes, masterly studies in chiaroscuro, celebrations of the sinuous female form. "One reason I photograph the nude is that I am concerned with universals. Clothing is specific to time and place. The body is not. In the fifteen years I needed to bring this book to fruition, the camera became, for me, a kind of third eye: An open gateway beween the inner and the outer, my models and my perceptions of them" (William Carter). An absolute "must-have" title for William Carter collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in blue ink-pen on the title page by William Carter. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary erotic art photography classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. 18 tritone plates. One of the most brilliant photographers of the female nude of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER WILLIAM CARTER TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). N° de ref. del artículo 22027
