His photographs are painterly tableaux that continue the traditions of romantic literature and painting. Henson's elegant, formal photographs - of battered landscapes and fragile, wispy youths - resemble nothing so much as Flemish still-lifes; rarely has colour photography captured so profoundly the furry texture of night time."-Publisher's website, https://www.editionsbessard.com/product/bill-henson-limited-edition-signed-c-print/ 15 August 2016. |
