Monkey Portraits

Více o knize

We share about 98 percent of our DNA with chimpanzees, our closest biological cousins. The similarities between simians and humans are humorously and brilliantly captured in this collection. Jill Greenberg, who has spent 15 years photographing celebrities like Clint Eastwood and Drew Barrymore, has turned her lens to a different subject: monkeys and apes, many of whom have appeared in film and television. Her intimate portraits reveal a striking range of emotions and personalities, evoking an almost eerie sense of recognition. Each of the 76 anthropomorphic photographs will remind you of someone you know. These monkeys, in all their glory, will make you laugh out loud and ponder just how different we truly are.
