Product Description

Product Description

Guy Bourdin, who died in 1991, was a legend in the world of fashion photography. He was the most radical and audacious photographer of his generation but his reputation has been surrounded in secrecy - he rarely allowed his photographs to appear outside the pages of French Vogue. No book of his work has previously been published. His estate was frozen by the courts until 1997, after which his son, Samuel, gained control of his work as a result of which this long-awaited book can be published. Bourdin was originally a painter and a friend of Man Ray. His fashion photographs began to incorporate his surrealist influences. Fashion photography became an arena for his personal obsessions. The results are as shocking and astonishing as any commercial photograph ever published. They were executed meticulously. Despite his intense eroticism, subversion and, as Cecil Beaton described, 'his grotesque little gamines', Beaton referred to him in 1975 as 'unquestionably the most interesting fashion photographer in Paris today'. His work was said to have represented 'the look of an era - glamorous, hard-edged, cleverly spiced with vulgarity...rich with implied narratives and strong erotic undercurrents'.

5.0 out of 5 stars A highly under-rated photographer is finally recognised., 18 April 2002
By A Customer
Finally this wonderful photographer is recognised, and by a book which truely does his work justice. Guy Bourdin... has an amazing eye for the purity of image perfectly depicted in this book. His understanding of form, composition, and overall balance are, in my opinion second to none. This book shows a range of his best pieces in glorious colour. It is a must for any Guy Bourdin fans, and a definate consideration for anyone who is a fan of the French Vogue style photographs. An excellent compilation!
