About this Book

For the past 45 years, George Krause has worked on four distinct series of photographs, each represented in this volume. "The Street" is an oblique journal of places, including Mexico, Spain, Italy, and Philadelphia, where the artist has lived and worked. The objects photographed in "Qui Riposa" are tombstones and cemetery monuments; in "Saints and Martyrs," religious statuary; and in "I Nudi," naked human models. From these common objects arise pictures of great beauty and mystery.
