These photographs were taken in the early 1970\'s for a book onsexual love, At a time when people were jailed for depicting actsof intimacy, artist and photographer Arnold Skolnick made some ofthe most memorable and erotic images of the twentieth century, manyfar too sophisticated for the book for which they were taken, Ofthe few that were exhibited at the time, a critic wrote: "Thesephotos give the forms of two people making love the grandeur andpower of sculpture. One is, of course, reminded of Rondin". Withgood reason not to promo9te them, Skolnick stored the negatives andcontact sheets away for over thirty years, but he did not forgetthem. Now, having reached his seventieth birthday, Skolnick hasgone back to the work, to produce an extraordinarily beautifullovesong - a lush and high sensual celebration of the union of manand woman.
