By (author) Betti-Sue Hertz

| book description |

A pioneering conceptual and multidisciplinary artist, Antin has lately turned her attention to creating enormous photo-realist settings based on Greek and Roman history and mythology. Gathered here for the first time in book form, these works, often displayed as two-page spreads, are both comic and psychologically complex re-enactments from literature: Roman Allegories , Last Days of Pompeii , and Helen's Odyssey . Employing her friends as models, Antin has created a series of tableaux which touch on themes of 'her story' while commenting on the roles women play in allegory and myth.Including a foreword by the San Diego Museum of Art director Derrick Cartwright, an interview with the artist by critic Max Kozloff, and essays by Betti-Sue Hertz and Amelia G. Jones, this volume also contains a selection of works from three earlier projects from the 1970s and 1980s: The King , Angel of Mercy and Recollections of My Life with Diaghilev . Designed to echo a neoclassical work from the nineteenth century, this volume is an indispensable survey of Antin's influential work in photography.
