Eros and Thanatos OOP A photograph of a person

Eros and Thanatos OOP A photograph of a personIn our fourth book of Duane Michals's work, the artist explores classic themes of love and death through photographs and words. The evocative images and poems collected in Eros & Thanatos conjure memories of love and loss, lust and longing, in what is perhaps the most revealing and overtly sensual of Michals's works to date. The full richness of Michals's imagery emerges from these exquisite, large format sheet fed gravures. twin palms publishers
