Stunning, provocative, and sensual, horses have long been admited for their dramatic physical beauty.  In this artfully onceived volume, photographer Jill Greenberg captures the grand and enigmatic nature of the horse through her signature technique of digitally hand-painted photographs.  Focusing on the animal's body; on cut, striated muscles under shiny, cropped hair; on crimped manes and windswept forelocks; on the strong shoulders and hindquarters of Baroque breeds like the Friesian nd the Andalusian, the powerful physicality of this majestic creature is transformed by Greenberg's lens into a brilliantly coloured and hyperreal vision.  Alternating between studio shoots and sessions in the wild that create fantastic natural tableaux bathed in the otherworldly light, this is Greenberg's provocative return to her first muse and love.  A short story by acclaimed novelist A. M. Homes, equally talented at provocation, completes the volume.
