Summary: Very tasteful look at early Madonna
Comment: In the foreword, Martin Schreiber, then a struggling photographer in NYC, describes a young model who entered his studio on 12 February 1979 and for a short time, posed for him. That model was Madonna Louise Ciccone. Some of those photos ended up in the September 85 Playboy, after Like A Virgin exploded over the face of pop. Schreiber describes this book as "a celebration of the human form, a dedication to an innocent, determined young woman, and to all figure models." Given the photos that were shot, I'd concur. $30 for three hours, as the consent form signed by her says. Well, that three hour session yielded some really tasteful b&w photography, the highlights of which are blown up for this book. The last pages show the safety film of the complete sessions.
This particular form, done in various lighting and shadows, is quite appealing and artful. One full frontal shot of her, spanning 8 through 8A on the safety film, with the head cut off, would make an excellent Greek or Roman statue.
The frontal sphinx-like crouching shots of her are nice. A striped cat is crouched inbetween her arms. The next shot, the cat is gone, she is in the same position, and there's a view of her pubic hair in shadows. The cat comes out in two other shots of her, including the book cover photo. BTW, Madonna isn't smiling in these shots but maintains a dignified expression throughout.
Think about it though. These were taken in 1979, years before Like A Virgin, MTV, Sean Penn, Blonde Ambition, Evita, and the bogus British accent she has now affected. Often times, early activities by an actor or singer (think Sylvester Stallone) reveals some embarassing moments, but this isn't one of them, as the Certain Sacrifice movie was. No, years from now, Madonna can look through these pictures and remember the simpler times. P.S. I wonder if the cat got an autographed copy of Like A Virgin from her.

Summary: To the figure model
Comment: Martin H. M. Schreiber made this book as a dedication to Madonna and all figure models. It is a glance into the ambition and dedication that Madonna and other models have. Beyond the obvious conotations provided by the mystique that is Madonna today, we can find the simple beauty of a young woman expressing the beauty of her body. The works in this book are simple, but they have a subtle delicacy to them that I really appreciated.
