LaChapelle, Heaven to Hell - Reviews

Page [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

"What`s impressive about this volume, which has nearly twice the images of either of the last two books, is its demonstration of LaChapelle`s actually quite formidable range. Just when you think you`ve seen one too many balloon-chested, slick-skinned automatons spewing evocative substances around the room, he throws a bevy of cellulite-dimpled middle-aged men, or a herd of taxidermied animals, or a startling bland photo of Hilary Clinton—or an electric chair, just sitting empty with a pair of high heels cast off nearby. The work is garish and gorgeous, shameless and eloquent, repulsive and mesmerizing—but never very far off the mark." LA Weekly, Los Angeles United States

"Heaven to Hell (TASCHEN) è l'ultimo libro della trilogia firmata dal fotografo David LaChapelle. Tra le immagini c'è la Pietà di Michelangelo con Courtney Love al posto di Maria e un Gesu sosia di Kurt Cobain." Panorama, Milano Italy

"His colour-saturated, outrageously exhilarating images manage to crash through every possible taster barrier as big-breasted girls and big-bummed guys cavort in set-piece tableaux that memorably highlight our obsessions with sex, violence and celebrity." Sunday Times, Culture, London United Kingdom

"Coût supposé: 200 euros. Un livre? Disons un bel objet artistique, à la fois pointu, hype et instructif, à poser négligemment sur la table basse pour avoir l`air d`une véritable esthète. Son vrai prix: 49,99 euros, soit trois fois rien pour passer votre temps avec Dave (le petit nom de David LaChapelle, pas le chanteur)." 20 ans, Paris France

"Puisant son inspiration dans l`histoire de l`art, la Bible ou la pornographie, David Lachapelle serait-il en fait un moraliste ambigu? Le contempteur de la pop culture globalisée dont il est l`un des plus illustres représentants? Dans Heaven to Hell, troisième opus de sa trilogie entamée avec LaChapelle Land, il peaufine son univers esthétique et fantasmagorique marqué par l`outrance. Il entraîne les stars et ses amis célébrissimes (Angelina Jolie, Paris Hilton, David Bowie ou Courtney Love) dans des simulacres de pratiques extrêmes (bondage, ondinisme, zoophilie) aux couleurs violemment acidulées. Mais la rédemption n`est pas loin. Un Christ sulpicien surgit dans les dernières pages. Il est venu sauver tout ce petit monde. Comme dans un film hollywoodien." Les Inrockuptibles, Paris France

"The stills are a key player in the telling of the story, and there are some real doozies here. Lavish is hardly the word, with the text more than matching the visuals." Film Review, London United Kingdom

"...some of the world's most famous stars and exhibitionists come out to play - including David Beckham as you've never seen him before... The latest example of his extraordinary imagination is a book, Heaven to Hell, a successor to Artists and Prostitutes." The Saturday Times Magazine, London United Kingdom

"A riot of colour and kitsch, Heaven to Hell, dissects contemporary pop culture - fame, fashion, gender and glamour - at its apocalyptic prime." Harpers and Queen, London United Kingdom

A GREAT book! David LaChapelles pictures are fantastic and I think he is one of the best photographers of all time! TASCHEN´s#1Fan Germany
