From the Amazon.com Website: "Though the popularity of female bodybuilding has been rapidly growing over the past three decades, women's brawny body types are still not accepted in the global opinion of the way women ought to look. Enter Bill Dobbins, a man whose mission is to show the world what ultra-muscular women really look like—- and that they look good. Modern Amazons is a unique collection of fine art photos and essays giving a fascinating insight into Dobbins's vision of femininity and the impact of female bodybuilding on modern society. Dobbins shows us a kind of female physique that challenges the typical thin-legged-large-breasted archetype of female beauty. With his highly skilled studio and natural light portraits, he worships these women's bulging muscles like no photographer." |

SAM WAGSTAFF - THE RISE OF PHOTOS AS COLLECTOR ART IN THE 1970s: After seeing the exhibition "The Painterly Photograph, 1890-1914" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1973 and meeting Robert Mapplethorpe, Wagstaff became convinced that photographs were the most unrecognized and, possibly, the most valuable works of art. He began selling his collection of paintings, using the proceeds to buy 19th-century American, British, and French photography. Then, influenced by Mapplethorpe, Wagstaff's taste veered toward the daring, and he began to depart from established names in search of new talent. His collection was soon recognized as one of the finest private holdings in the United States. The photograph collection was sold to the J. Paul Getty Museum, Malibu, CA, in 1984, for a reported $5 million. |
