Illustrated Wrappers. Near Fine 208pp, 106 color illustrations.

He dispenses with the pretension of academic texts and just shows us the work. With titles such as "Man with No Crotch Sits Down with Girl" and "Indian Maidens Frolic in Bikinis", these pictures require no reductive essays or curatorial largesse-they speak for themselves and the artists who created them.
