While he was unable to fully realize \u003ci\u003eSalvation\u003c\/i\u003e in his lifetime, he dictated instructions to his longtime friend, the artist and photographer Laurie Simmons, for completing the publication on his deathbed. Due to her recuperative efforts, DeSana's last major work is now available for the first time.\u003cbr\u003eThe volume displays 44 of the artist's late photographic abstractions, images of relics, body parts, flowers and fruits altered through collage and darkroom manipulations. Both intimate and otherworldly, the works in \u003ci\u003eSalvation\u003c\/i\u003e function as a quiet counterpoint to the majority of the work generated in response to the HIV\/AIDS epidemic, which tended to favor bold political statements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 10.4 x 8.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 21, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51763662160160,"sku":"9798988573630","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/f9f3e377107d52fee75b27ce42068912.webp?v=1780238431","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/jimmy-desana-salvation-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
