PEREZ, Nissan N. Revelation: Representations of Christ in Photography.

(London): Merrell in association with the Israel Museum (Jerusalem), 2003.  First edition.  Hardcover.  28.5cm by 25cm.  In the course of the development of photography, individual artists have made frequent use of Christian iconography, and some resulting images have become milestones in the history of the medium.  This volume is the first to explore the influence of other art forms on the photographic representations of Christ, whilst also examining the independent evolution of photograph’s tradition of portraying scenes from the New Testament.  Includes work by Annie Leibovitz, Jan Saudek, Boris Mikhailov, Les Krims, Man Ray, Robert Mapplethorpe and many others.  A near fine copy in dust jacket.  A landmark publication that fills a gap in the history of visual culture.
