A collection of 28 full-page and full-colour paintings, shown alongside his lively and dynamic black-and-white sketches. This is a welcome reissue of his most sensual and erotic work - red haired warrior queens duelling with muscled soldiers in breathtaking, colourful backdrops.
Boris Vallejo decided to create this photographic paean to the female derriere partly as a tribute and partly as a challenge: "After all, I asked myself, how many ways can you present one body part?" Hindsight, now in paperback, answers that question. In 100 color and black-and-white images, Vallejo renders the object of his (admitted) obsession with elegance and eroticism. In Hindsight, Vallejo returns to the heart of his inspiration - his love for the human body. He brings to this work the same classic composition and eye for the artistic potential of the body that enliven his paintings. His many fans, as well as photography and erotic art lovers of every kind, will find his exploration of a subject rarely touched upon a refreshing departure from other photography books.
