- Summary:
- The definitive monograph on this American artist's work, this book includes photographs from Tress' earliest collections, long out-of-print, such as "The Dream Collector" and "Theater of the Mind." It also includes his surrealistic staged portraits from the 1970s and 1980s. Tress' work is allegorical, fantastic, and grotesque--sometimes humorous, sometimes deadly serious. A beautifully reproduced collection, with numerous male nudes.
