Presents John Dugdale's "Lengthening Shadows Before Nightfall". The artist/photographer's gossamer, mystical, and haunting vision of a gay American individual's life (his own) shadowed at every single precious moment by mortality. John Dugdale utilizes the Cyanotype Process, which results in blue-tinted black-and-white photographs that have earned the artist/photographer a cult following among serious photography collectors. The late great artist/children's book writer and illustrator Maurice Sendak and the great playwright Tony Kushner, both gay, own two of the finest private collections of Dugdale's work. Dugdale has been living with AIDS for many years now and thriving in spite of the fact (he is now almost completely blind) , making these images all the more moving. He uses himself as the subject as well as family members, friends, and lovers in many of the photographs. Includes some of the most unusual, most affecting, and most haunting male nudes ever made. "In an interplay of metaphor and time, artist John Dugdale evokes a world of light-filled chambers and sensuous bodies. From the muted blue luster of the archaic Cyanotype Process, his imagery emerges in a mist of loss and remembrance. Dugdale has created an extremely personal and vibrant body of work. Revealed is an artistic vision that weds contemporary consciousness with ageless concerns" (Publisher's blurb) . An absolute "must-have" title for John Dugdale collectors. <b><I> This copy is one of the Limited Slipcased Edition of 100 numbered and signed copies, indicated/numbered as such on the Back Limitation Page.
