Many cemeteries in Europe are strewn with shockingly sensual sculptures of women. They are idealized creations--young, gorgeous, elaborately posed, and beautifully sculpted. David Robinson's exquisite photographs reveal the angelic beauty and mystery of these lifelike sculptures. In her foreword, Joyce Carol Oates explores the many implications of these grief-stricken, extremely provocative female figures.
Almost all color photos (a few B & W) of European cemeteries in France, England, Prague, Spain, Portugal, and Italy. Has a very weird introduction by Dean Koontz, but is a great book anyway. A lot of strange monuments of the sort that aren't usually found in America (except perhaps in New Orleans), though the photos of English cemeteries are far too few. An entire book could be done on Highgate alone, in my opinion.
