Wonderful imagery February 11, 2004

This book is amazingly beautiful. I can't begin to describe the power of these photographs, erotic but tasteful. The power of the female body in all it's wonderous glory.

This work is beautiful. The photographs are wonderful. They explore the beauty of the female form with lesbian tones.

Francesconi captures dreamy, lush, stylized images of women loving women. The over 70 duo tone photographs of mostly couples, many nude, in this collection are quite lovely, and the narrative is equally romantic. If you are familiar with the photographer, Judy Francesconi's work, then Visual Sonnets will not be a total surprise. Although most images don't seem to have been published, there are some that have appeared in her calendars, as cards, etc. Francesconi's subjects are beautiful and her photographs really do have the feel of sonnets; carefully composed images within a particular style designed to communicate to the viewer. These celebratory images communicate a sensuous, even intimate delight to the eye.It is the nature of "coffee table" books to be expensive. Sonnets is within the typical range for such art books; however, it is disappointing that it's not a hardcover book for the price. Still if you are someone who revels in Francesconi's work, you'll enjoy this volume.

In studying the photographs and the subtle but meaningful thoughts that accompanied the majority of them, I felt as if I was there in the moment with the women... an intruder witnessing very private moments. The black and white medium used was not only totally effective but enhanced the beauty and intensity of the experience.
