title: Oarsmen: Black and White Photographs by Brian Orter
author: Peter Hay Halpert Fine Art
description: This book is a collection of high quality black &amp; white plates by Brian Orter. The collection shows the male athlete as both machine and person. The photographs deliver a stoic sense of control, staggering physical endurance, surrender of the individual will to the collective, and a new interpretation of the societal archetype of the male athlete. The collection has been described as erotic and terrifying at the same time. This book is a rare peek into the work of an up and coming artist. Includes 64 plates.
