Few of the original Photorealists brought as much to the movement in terms of subject and content as Iowa native, John Kacere who, with his ultra-real lingerie-clad female form - Woman as Goddess, as his concept is referred to - tested the limits of PhotorealismÕs interpretation of the mundane and the banal while also finding long-illusive commercial success. Through first person interviews and accounts this book chronicles the turbulent life and ideas of one of the great Photorealist painters and his search for perfection. Full page images of each of his Goddess paintings are included, 130 in total, from the first untitled work in 1969 to Aimie '99., Pop Art, Modern Art, Photorealism, Art History, Realism, John Kacere, D.
