Saving graces : images of women in European cemeteries

by David Robinson, Joyce Carol Oates

This photographic study explores the idealised and often eroticised female sculptures found in European cemeteries. The collection examines the intersection of death, mourning, and the female form, analysing the cultural implications of these lifelike funerary monuments.
