ANIMALIA

by Henry Horenstein

Foreword by Elizabeth Werby

"Though most photographers are driven to find a new vision, even the best fail more often than they succeed. In [these images], Horenstein has succeeded to a dazzling degree, evading the abundant cliches of animal photography at every turn." - Owen Edwards

ANIMALIA is a collection of the best of noted photographer Henry Horenstein's images of sea and land creatures. Described variously as evocative, mysterious, romantic, surprising, and weird, Horenstein's abstract images will make the viewer see otherwise familiar animals in a new and different light.

Printed in sumptuous sepia duotones, ANIMALIA will make an elegant gift book for the animal or photographer lover among your friends and family members. Horenstein's ANIMALIA photographs were at the Harvard Museum of Natural History (www.hmnh.harvard.edu) throughout the summer of 2008.

The exhibit went on a national tour to a variety of museums and other venues, through the traveling exhibition company art2art (www.art2art.org).

Henry Horenstein is author of over thirty books and monographs published by Viking, Chronicle, powerHouse, Stewart, Tabori & Chang, and Pond Press -- including Honky Tonk, Humans, Racing Days, Creatures, Aquatics, Canine, and Close Relations.

Photography students worldwide have used his textbooks, including Black & White Photography, published by Little, Brown and Co., which has sold close to 700,000 copies to date. Horenstein lives in Boston and is professor of photography at Rhode Island School of Design. A range of his work can be seen at www.horenstein.com.
