The most extraordinary photographic survey of human passion ever created, Love and Desire is the long-awaited sequel to William A. Ewing's highly successful The Body. Here, the internationally acclaimed photo-graphy curator brings together over 300 colour and duotone images that explore human intimacy in all its forms - from the innocent sensuality of a mother and child, to the group adoration of a cultural icon, to the carnal connection between the sexes. These images - both famous and obscure - from the past 150 years of photography come together in a thought-provoking exploration of humankind's deepest yearnings. Sliding easily into a translucent slipcase, this beautifully designed book is an amazing array of compelling images in a beautiful package at an irresistible price.
