Ivan Pinkava - Paperback

by Ivan Pinkava (Artist)

Working in black and white, Ivan Pinkava (born 1961) casts his subjects as contemporary incarnations of classical and Biblical persons: Narcissus, Sebastian, Salome, Cain and Abel. He has extended this idea to create imaginary portraits of writers who have gained iconic stature, such as Vladimir Mayakovsky, Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Sylvia Plath.
