About the Author
Arthur Tress is one of the most prolific and diversified art photographers now working in America. For over thirty-five year, Tress's style has evolved from early photojournalist reportage influenced by Cartier-Bresson, through his idiosyncratic form of contemporary surrealism, to completely fabricated tableaux with appropriated imagery. Throughout the years, his attention to old age had helped to give meaning and form to the photographs. His portraits of boys, adolescents, and men from all walks of life present the male in his role as novitiate, explorer, and sage, some of the stages of a man's life in his universal quest for enlightenment.
