Book Reviews of Jock Sturges: New Work, 1996-2000
Book Review: If summer is over, something new is here instead
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is huge- overall 14.5" high by 13" wide..beautiful work, and even better printing than the last volume! Heavier paper, higher res- it's possibly the best-printed monograph I've ever seen, barring limited edition press runs. It is an extraordinary printing achievement, and I commend Scalo for it. Very much worth the money, and now all I have to do is figure out how to fit it into my book shelves..which are only 12" high..guess it's a coffee table book..too bad I never have the vicar over for tea:-) The book has 88 images total, only one of which has been seen before- and that one only in Evolution of Grace (an extremely rare, Japanese-only book), an old pic of Trea from 1983 juxtaposed against a beautiful new shot of her 15 years later as a teenager). Which brings me to my point..summer is ending, in one sense, and you can feel it in this work (as in Jock's Ireland work, not yet collected in a book). His most beloved models are growing up, and his loss of innocence in the intervening years since his raid means that the images will never again be quite the same, as the full awareness of all those people who want to punish him or think ill of him for taking beautiful photos can't be escaped. Instead, Jock (and us his readers) must learn appreciations of new aspects in the work- the use of large format color for one, and the stronger emphasis on portraiture and formal layout. These models, mostly mid-teens or older now, look directly and challengingly at the viewer in almost every image. They too have lost a certain innocence since the first collaborations, and perhaps are now trying to impose their personalities, their force of will and belief in what Jock does, upon our minds. The images are still beautiful and compelling, but in a new way. If their lifestyle and Jock's connection with it had never been so brutally attacked by Randall Terry and his ilk, perhaps this change would never have come about. Whether or not you will find it as appealing as the lost innocence, and the illusion of a simple, sensual and perfect growth from childhood that defined the earlier work is up to you.
