- Summary:
- Many cemeteries in Europe are strewn with shockingly sensual sculptures of women. They are idealized creations -- young, gorgeous, elaborately posed, and beautifully sculpted. David Robinson's exquisite photographs reveal the angelic beauty and mystery of these lifelike sculptures. In her foreword, Joyce Carol Oates explores the many implications of these grief-stricken, extremely provocative female figures.
