This celebration of the wonderfully talented Dutch photographer follows a career spanning more than thirty years and includes vividly colored portraits, landscapes, still lifes, abstract compositions and fashion editorials.
The coffee table book: 'Viviane Sassen: Mirrors and Portals,' which traces a career spanning more than 30 years, honors the extraordinarily talented Dutch photographer with vividly colored portraits, landscapes, still lifes, abstract compositions and fashion editorials.
From her early African-inspired work to her more recent experiments with interventionist techniques, Viviane Sassen has gained international acclaim for her striking, dynamic images that explore a range of themes and subjects - from identity, gender and the body to race, fashion and the environment. This retrospective book brings together both well-known and lesser-known works and includes pieces from her recent series, "Paint Studies," which reimagines early photographs with ink and painterly markings, and "Venus and Mercury," a collection of stunning photomontages based on the history of the Palace of Versailles. Enlightening texts by Dawn Ades, Clothilde Morette, Simon Baker, Damarice Amao and Dan Thawley make this the definitive survey of an important and ever-evolving photographer.
