Beyond Decorum: The Photography of Iké Udé

Rating:
Summary: An extraordinary study of gender and identity
Review: I completely disagre with the previous reviewer (if you don't get it, you shouldn't review it). Ike Ude is one of the newer most accomplished contemporary photographers (his work, in permanent collections at Guggenheim and Smithsonian, for example). His work could be described as a fusion of conceptual photography, fashion editorials and socio-political commentary, and as such as enormous aesthetic appeal. This book is the most comprehensive review of his work today.

Summary: Yawn....
Review: With a sense of style that recalls the worst of the National Lampoon publication of the 70's...how this made it to publication somehow escapes me. Perhaps the first minstrel show of the Millenium. Exploitive and needless.

Silly giggles, pee-pee doo-doo....you start to get the drift....severly lacking in any intellectual value at all. Avoid.
