Book Reviews of Monkey Portraits
Book Review: Monkey Business
Summary: 5 Stars
Jill Greenberg's photos are simply amazing. The subjects, all monkeys of one kind or another, convey a wide range of emotions and, as the introduction suggests, may remind you of friends, relatives or other close acquaintances.
This isn't a "photo book of animals". It's artful photography by a woman who has somehow gained the trust of these wonderful critters. Toss it on your coffee table and let guests enjoy the images.
Summary of Monkey Portraits
Jill Greenberg offers a fascinating, funny, and all-too-human collection of celebrity monkey and ape portraits. Each of these 76 amazing anthropomorphic photographs will remind readers of someone they know. Little, Brown and CompanyBook Description:
We share about 98 percent of our DNA with chimpanzees, our closest biological cousins. And never have the similarities between simians and humans been so amusingly and brilliantly captured as in Monkey Portratis. Jill Greenberg has spent 15 years photographing celebrities--from Clint Eastwood to Drew Barrymore--for leading publications, but has recently focused on actors of a different sort. She has been photographing monkeys and apes, many of whom have appeared on film or in television shows. Her intimate portraits of these animals convey a startling range of emotions and personalities, and evoke an almost eerie sense of recognition. Each of these 76 amazingly anthropomorphic photographs will remind you of someone you know. These monkeys in all their glory will cause you to laugh out loud and to wonder just how different we truly are.
