James Bidgood - Critiques
| "To celebrate its 25th anniversary - TASCHEN publishing house is releasing a special edition and complete overview of James Bidgood's influential body of work. The multilingual book (published in English, French and German) offers a complete overview of Bidgood works, from his early fifties work and provides a surprising journey through new aesthetic camps starting from the homo-erotic "traditional" beefcake imaginary."— Swide.com, New York, États-Unis | |
| "De James Bidgood se conoce principalmente su película Pink Narcissus, un clásico gay convencional que descubría la peculiar visión de un creador capaz de orquestar un poema erótico visual con pocos medios y mucha imaginación. Es hora de conocer también su trabajo fotográfico y sus diseños de vestuario, recogidos en el volumen James Bidgood de TASCHEN. Apostando en ocasiones por delirantes fantasías y en otras por sobrios y morbosos desnudos, merece la pena regodearse com la visión homoerótica de Bidgood."— Shangay, Madrid, Espagne | |
| "Ever wonder where Pierre et Gilles found the inspiration for their wildly stylized, hand-painted photographs? Look no further than James Bidgood, whose epic series of fantastical erotic photography is on full, lush display in TASCHEN's 25th anniversary re-release of its coffee table bio/photo monograph James Bidgood (out now)... Now 76 and still living in NYC, Bidgood has been a bit of a forgotten figure in gay iconography. This definitive collection - which includes stills of his subversive 1971 film Pink Narcissus - ought to go a long way towards correcting that."— Moderntonic.com, Los Angeles, États-Unis | |
| "The whole book is a delight. It’s huge and lushly illustrated with photos that are themselves lush."— BadAtSports.com, | |
