Of the myths of contemporary society, the female breast is the one most open to discussion. The photographs in this catalogue are insightful, occasionally mad and always provocative, leading the viewer to really see the breast. Considering that many photographs of the breast linger on the aesthetic nude, this book instead focuses on the veiled breast, so much more stimulating to the imagination. The photographs selected are unique, at times surprising and endowed with a language of their own; some are further enhanced with accompanying, often literary, commentary.
