4.0 out of 5 stars Vintage Witkin!, 16 April 1999
By A Customer
Certainly Witkin's work is not for the faint of heart. For those unfamiliar with his photographs, Joel-Peter Witkin performs what is essentially destructive construction of your brain. His often painful yet strangely beautiful images force the reader to re-evaluate those people often stereotyped as freaks and outcasts. His work is deeply symbolic, yet is immediately satisfying for those de-sensitized enough to endure the grotesque nature of his visions. Modern performers such as Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails have borrowed heavily from Witkin's creative well (especially evident in the Closure video). The Bone House is basically a summary of his work up to the present, and includes some enlightening text by Witkin himself. It is 196 pages, with 92 four-color plates.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny, 13 Dec 1999
By A Customer
Superbly presented in its presentation box sleeve, this book will both shock and excite. All of Witkin's better known images are included along with lesser known ones. Print quality is very good and as with the best photography books, there is little writing thus allowing the images to stand alone.

Images of Witkin imitating the crusification of Christ and his regular use of the disabled and cadivers draw the viewer deeper into each photograph, and give turning the page a real sense of anticipation.

This is one of my favorite photographic books, but be warned, if you use it as a coffee table book, friends will being to worry and lovers will sleep less easy.
