Author Author of the book upon which the photograph appears Karr, Mary Photograph Title Title of photograph St. Cyprien, France 1951 Book Genre Memoir Photo Genre Genre of Photograph Nude Photographer Photographer Brandt, Bill Designer Designer of book cover Buckley, Paul Notes Notes associated with the item The cover art here is a slightly lesser-known image from Bill Brandt's series of nudes, shot primarily in the 1950's and published in the monograph 'Perspective of the Nude' (Amphoto 1961). The figures from this body of work tend to be highly formal (some are virtual abstractions) and/or dark and dreamlike (the Surrealists, particularly Ernst and Tanguey, come to mind), so it is interesting to see how erotically charged this cover image becomes when combined with the color, type and title of Mary Karr's memoir. The designer Honi Werner is known for borrowing from famous, and sometimes not so famous, works of art. I have little doubt that she is familiar with Brandt's ouvre, but how conscious an influence it was on her cover design for Jennifer Weiner's 'Good in Bed' is a matter for debate. In Werners cover, the surrealist edge of Brandts original image has been replaced with a kitschy, confection-like eroticism, but the basic form and monumentality of the image remains.
