Visions sur le nu - Lucien Clergue

Used book.

Signs of use but in good condition, especially for a book that’s over 40 years old.. Beautiful photos and a signature of the photographer.

Lucien Clergue grew up in Arles. He took violin lessons from childhood. As a teenager, his desire to become a violinist turned into a photographer. He photographed special subjects for that time: dead birds on the banks of the Rhône, dead bulls in the bullring in Nîmes, garbage along the street or naked women on the beach. At the age of twenty he showed his clichés to Pablo Picasso in Arles. This was the start of a friendship that lasted many years; Picasso supported Clergue's choice to become a photographer.

In the 1960s, Clergue was one of France's few photographers ever to have an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He set up a department at the Musée Réattu in Arles with art photographs from Provence.
