Lips, lips, and more lips! In the visually stunning book Blow Me a Kiss, Alice Harris takes us on a guided tour of all things lips through some of the most iconic images and photographs throughout the years centered on the facial feature. Whether pursed or provocatively parted, lips have undeniable visual power, while lipstick remains a timeless symbol of bold glamour.
Featuring the legendary kissers of Cindy Crawford (above), Solange Knowles (at bottom), Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Lana Del Rey, Lindsay Lohan, and more, Harris has curated a unique collection of famous pouts.Blow Me a Kiss is packed full of 80 stunning pictures, and includes works by Andy Warhol, David LaChapelle, Alex Katz, Roy Lichtenstein, Man Ray, Jeff Koons, and Cindy Sherman, among others. The visual artists featured in the book have depicted puckers at work and at play—from lips caught in quiet repose, to lips locked in a lustful embrace, to the lipstick stained remains of an ephemeral kiss.
