"The magician who pulls the rug from under the viewer's feet with his photographs, revealing a hidden world and challenging our powers of imagination and our understanding of the darker side of life." So Arthur Tress is described in editor Weiermair's short introductory essay. Indeed, Tress's largely staged black-and-white work alternates between the allegorical, erotic, humorous, and grotesque, but it is always powerful. Including previously unpublished images as well as selections from collections long out of print (Appalachia, Shadow, Theater of the Mind, and Dream Collector), this handsomely produced monograph documents the American photographer's career with examples that cover all periods, from his early work in the Fifties through recent male nudes. Augmented by a chronology of exhibitions and biographical information, this collection is recommended for libraries collecting contemporary American photography.?James Edward Van Buskirk, San Francisco P.L.
