After Images is a photographic monograph that presents a striking series in which Arbus re‑imagines and re‑creates the visual energy of iconic modernist paintings through photography. Instead of straightforward documentary portraiture, the book draws inspiration from masterpieces by painters such as Picasso, Cézanne, Munch, Schiele, and Modigliani, translating their emotional intensity and formal qualities into staged photographic scenes. To achieve this, Arbus crafted custom costumes, props, and makeup and employed chiaroscuro lighting to evoke the painterly effects of the original works. Includes a conversation between Arbus and photographer Larry Fink, adding insight into her creative process and thematic concerns.
Condition: Hardcover. Like new. Kept in a slipcase.
