The Beauty of Corpulence

There are several superb artists who study, observe, pose and paint/photograph models whose prime artistic interest is their corpulence: Jenny Saville, Lucien Freud, Hanneline Rogeberg, and Joel Peter Witkin are good examples. But now that list must include Leonard Nimoy whose photographs of posed full-figured females literally fill these pages.

Natalie Angier provides an intelligent, sensitive Foreword to this collection, THE FULL BODY PROJECT, focusing more on the model selection and the act of creating art with women whose body images are respected, and not compromised, in the studio. What follows is a selection of fifty black and white photographs of women, both Caucasian and African American, posed like the three graces, or symbols of mythology, or simply relaxing together - very much aware that the photographer is shaping an art piece. Their eyes engage the camera, at times haughtily, at time with a glint of humor.

Nimoy's time in front of the camera as an actor no doubt adds to his appreciation of reflective and absorptive surfaces and his photographs have a lush rich quality that enhances his Rubenesque models. The results are not parodies of full-bodied women but rather appreciation of the qualities these models bring to the frame. It is a book of unusual and very beautiful images and Nimoy handles his assignment with surety and finesse. Highly recommended.
