Response to Annie Liebovitz

from John Kantor (jkantor@mindspring.com)
Actually, I like the Pirelli calendar a lot - if you remember that Pirelli isn't really going after a glamour image. (in fact, I haven't found many of their calendars very sexy. They are really more interested in media events.) What's really interesting is that if you read the text you'll see that Annie wanted to do the entire calendar with (unknown) dancers. It was Pirelli's idea to bring in Laetitia Casta and the two other models. (Ironic, too, considering that, obviously, Liebovitz was chosen because of her fame.)

But these are really wonderful examples of color nudes, where the emphasis (at least for the caucasian models) is on the complexity of the skin tones rather than of the musculature or the bone structure.
