5.0 out of 5 stars A Bold New Vision of Beauty!!!, 17 Jun 2004

By	Jack Gilbert "Editor of Michelle7.com" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the book that longtime fans of Richard Murrian's work have been waiting for. At last - it's here!!!

It's been a long and often frustrating road. Given the supposed "controversy" of Murrian working with adolescent females as nude models, few publishers had the courage to even enter into discussions about publishing his work. But finally, the renown and immensely respected publishing house Edition Skylight took him under their wing and gave Richard the platform he deserved. The result is this book, Reanna's Diaries, and I doubt that anyone will be disappointed. Indeed, it is arguably the most daring and exquisite vision of the human form published in the last decade.

The main subject matter of the book is the young and beautiful Reanna, who first collaborated with Richard when she was just fourteen years old, but there are some twenty other young models featured as well, each a slender, impeccably perfect beauty. Portrayed in Murrian's magical, delightfully romantic and ethereal style, his subjects transcend all traditional concepts of grace and beauty and take on a glorious, almost celestial quality. So, prepare to be spellbound. The production quality of the book itself is flawless (typical of Edition Skylight) and its dimensions of 10.5" x 8.5" is very satisfying. The preface and introductory text are in English, German, and French. It features 201 color plates set against a glossy white background. As an added and very intriguing bonus, each plate is accompanied by commentary (located at the back of the book) where Richard provides details of the picture such as its title, model information, his photographic technique, and various other elements that went into creating the image. A main strength of the book is that even though there are over 200 plates, they are culled from the enormous collection of work that Murrian has amassed over the last few years, and is something of a best-of-the-best collection. This is very cool ... but really puts the pressure on Murrian if he's wanting to produce a follow-up book that equals or surpasses this most amazing initial effort.

The controversy that hovers around Murrian's work is his vision that young girls, at the genesis of womanhood, are subjects worthy of artistic study. But only the most radically puritanical will find anything offensive in the work presented here. Murrian's work is so highly stylized, his sincerity so obvious - if anything this work is immensely and eternally uplifting. Murrian's portraits and nudes are intimate, breathtaking glimpses into the wondrous physical and spiritual qualities of these girls. It reminds us of all the hope and promise, and the splendid perfection of youth that is so precious and so fleeting. This makes Murrian not only one of the most daring artists of our time, it also makes him one of the most important. My only hope is that the world is enlightened enough to understand what he's trying to convey.

3.0 out of 5 stars An excellent imitation of David Hamilton, 30 Jan 2007

By	Count Jim - See all my reviews

This is a beautifully presented book of beautifully shot photographs of beautiful girls. Most of the poses are in a greater or lesser degree of nudity, but never coarse or explicit. The style is tender and soft-focus; the settings and props are romantic and slightly Victorian in flavour; and the girls are all adolescent.

All of the above invites inevitable comparison with the works of David Hamilton, and I suppose that's where this book disappointed me. It added nothing new or different to Hamilton's style; it is as if Richard Murrian has set out to duplicate that style as closely as possible.

To those who've never seen David Hamilton's work before, this is a very beautiful book; at the other extreme, Hamilton addicts who are looking for more of the same will love it. But those who are looking for something original and individual from each photographer will be disappointed.
