Killer work by the great Veruschka. yes, she was in Blow-Up, modelled in pretty much every issue of Vogue, was one of THE faces etc. etc. but- before all that, she studied painting in Hamburg. She met Trulzsch, a painter, in 1970, and here is the result. A superb collaborative work exploring body and landscape, and mainly featuring of course, Veruschka. Paintings by her, pictures of her (most of the book), body paintings, landscapes, surreal interior shots. Difficult to describe, like nothing else, but really quite special.
