Signed by David Hamilton

Published in Paris by L'Ariana Pictures Sarl in 1992, “David Hamilton: Twenty Five Years of an Artist” contains a large selection (several hundred) of B/W and color images by Hamilton Featured are his quintessentially "nice", innocently erotic images of beautiful nymph-like young ladies, usually partially or completely undraped. The photographs, mostly taken throughout the 1970's and 80's, also include some of his still lifes and landscapes. The extensive text by Phillippe Gautier, based on interviews with Hamilton, summarize his life and artistic career, and include numerous personal photographs. The images are very nicely reproduced in duotone.
