Detailed Description...........
The photography of Barbara Nitke easily rises to the level of fine art, bringing a kind of raw and real sexuality to a level that few other artists even attempt. There is nothing either salacious or illustritive in Nitke's work. Using the light and shadow of life as it actually looks she makes portraits of moments and passions, peopled by those who lived the moments and experienced the passions. She belongs in the ranks of the great art photographers such as Arthur Tress, George Dureau and Robert Mapplethorpe. ----Joseph Bean (Leather Archives and Museum)
