Iva Vilander. La femme vue par un femme.

Untitled Document
Vilander, Ica. LA FEMME vue par un femme. Paris: La Table Ronde, 1967. First Edition. Square 4to. (30x30cm) Unpaginated (120pp). Pink cloth with gilt in photographic dustwrapper. Numerous Colour and Black & White plates. Preface in French. Endpapers a little foxed. More images available on request. VG+ in VG+ dust-jacket. Hardcover.

Great first book from the underrated Vilander, who is more known for the superb 'Vive le Sex'. 1967 was something of a boom year for the genre of the nude photobook and Vilander's work stands out as one of the more original and better contributions to the genre. Elegant, fun, and very good. Like a fashion shoot with little (or no) clothes. Recommended
