Photography Monograph. As New/As New. np, profusely illustrated in b&w. Text in English and Japanese. Designed by Masashi Nakayama. Published only in Japan, this tiny gem was the result of a collaboration between noted photographer Kurt Markus and model Cynthia Antonio for a German "Elle" magazine fashion shoot meant to invoke the spirit of Alfred Stieglitz' photographs of the young Georgia O'Keeffe.

The nudes, landscapes and fashion editorial here are dark and sensual, showing a very different side of the photographer from his well-known Cowboy pictorials.
