Description: This richly illustrated book documents the 1973-75 photographic work of Greek-born American artist Lucas Samaras. The PHOTO TRANSFORMATIONS made with the Polaroid SX-70 camera represent the extension of his unique self-referential surrealist imagery into the medium of experimental photography. This new series of tableaux, catalogued here for the first time, demonstrates Samaras' versatility in the artistic exploration of the human condition, through an almost hallucinatory examination of himself, his environment and his fantasies. Born in Kastoria, Macedonia, Greece in 1936, Samaras studied at Rutgers University, received a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship for graduate study at Columbia, has taught at Yale University, and The Brooklyn College-City University of New York and is presently living and working in New York City. In 1972 he was honored with a retrospective exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, and most recently his pastels were exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, March 3-April 13, 1975. This book accompanies the exhibition LUCAS SAMARAS: PHOTO-TRANSFORMATIONS organized by The Art Galleries California State University, Long Beach.
