Playboy Gallery: Nude On A Table
September, 1996
Japanese surrealist Shig Ikeda photographed the female body in a most intriguing manner. Acknowledging a host of influences, from Man Ray and Salvador Dalí to Sigmund Freud, Ikeda created his portraits with multiple exposures, one piece at a time. The nude on a table with apple is from a portfolio in the September 1971 Playboy. "I'm fascinated by the human mind," Ikeda said of his sensual photographs, "and its ability to construct scenes only in the imagination."
