Descrição

This landmark retrospective presents the full range of Ritts’ work for the first time: 235 signature images in all, including many that have never before been published. In these pages one finds the most unforgettable portraits, from Ritts’ images of celebrated world leaders (Reagan, Mandela, Gorbachev) to visual artists (David Hockney, Keith Haring, Agnes Martin), musicians (Bruce Springsteen, Dizzy Gillespie, Aretha Franklin), and sports figures (Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan). And of course there are Hollywood’s brightest stars—Michelle Pfeiffer, Tom Cruise, Sophia Loren, Glenn Close, Madonna—captured in moments of startling candor and whimsy. In addition to portraiture, there is a brilliant array of fashion shots, erotic nudes, and gorgeous images from Africa which together affirm Ritts’ place in photography’s pantheon of greats.
