Nudes and Recent Work
An exhibition in Paris features nudes and other artful black-and-whites by American master Ralph Gibson.
A photographer once said that feminine beauty is infinite. Perhaps that was me. To tell the truth, I remember distinctly having said it, and this conviction remains mine today.
We observe the psychological mirror that is the human body with a fascination that persists indefinitely. At least it's what art history seems to indicate.
The Venus of Willendorf is dated around 25 000 b.c.... That is ancient enough to convince me. I love photographing women and I would say that the form of the female body is absolute and perfect.
