Young Cattle in Meadow in Voorst, Richard Tepe, vintage gelatin print
Nude women fly on various objects with bats and demons over a city scape.
Semi-nude woman gracefully skims surface of a pond with toes of her right foot. As she inclines her body to the proper right she gently cups a calla lily with her right hand to inhale its fragrance. Her left arm is aloft, fingers holding the edge of her white diaphanous garment that billows above. In the background, a slight pink tinge on the landscape signals the arrival of dawn.
A woman cradles an open book in her arms as she leans on a table and lowers her gaze to read.
