An artist's book, limited to 30 SIGNED copies. Naomi Savage (1927-2005) was a photographer who worked in a variety of experimental processes, some of her own invention. As a teenager, she studied with Berenice Abbott at the New School. After college, she assisted and studied with her uncle, Man Ray. She worked as a freelance photographer, and exhibited widely with commissions and purchases by numerous museums and private collections. This is her first artist's book. Of this work she stated "this is a coloring book for adults, a collaboration between us." The plates are a series of female nudes that started as b&w photographs, and were altered and reduced by a variety of hand-worked processes to make these into surrealistic images.
