Mario Benedetti

Photographs — Alex Waterhouse-Hayward

In the late 70s I photographed Jill in her kitchen and in her tub. Somehow her kitchen became perhaps the first place where I photographed a woman completely undraped. I look over these negatives every once in a while and I note that I like them lots. I would probably not return to a kitchen to take photographs like these. But they do remain in my memory and especially those dimples.

Cada cuerpo tiene

su armonía y

su desarmonía.

En algunos casos

la suma de armonías

puede ser casi

empalagosa.

En otros

el conjunto

de desarmonías

produce algo mejor

que la belleza.

Mario Benedetti

Every body has

its harmony and

In some cases

the sum of its harmony

can almost be

sickly sweet.

In others

the combination

of disharmony

produces something better

than beauty.
