From his 10 Books published. Here are some introduction cuts from them; ____________________________________________________________ _________ 'CATWALK - Fashion Models of Japan' ........ A.D.COLEMAN. While his visual structures are consistently elegant, posed, and classically balanced, Knapp here works against the tradition of the nude in several ways. Almost invariably, he joins the faces of his subjects with their bodies, identifying and individuating them..... And he registers their presence on infrared film, which records not the light that bounces off the surfaces of these women but the warmth that radiates from within them. What he gives us hereby is, literally and metaphorically, heat made visible: the essence below the appearance, the ego behind the mask, the energy beneath the skin. ____________________________________________________________ _________ 'FOTO PORTRAITS' ......... SLASH. Definitely some of the best portraits I've seen in some time. At the end of the day. .. This book promises to be an entertaining feast for your senses. ____________________________________________________________ _________ 'PRISON'S INSIDE ART' ........ TIMOTHY LEARY. It is almost an effortless style he has, which puts you at ease right away. Yet he is methodical and exacting. Always with a clear vision of his finished print. ____________________________________________________________ _________ Herein also you have a sample of my Gallery Print works for sale.(pics area) – MADONNA & ANDY WARHOL.
