Ralph Gibson. Nude
70Perfectly Intimate
The infinite subtlety of the female form
Sensual and softly surreal, the nude photography of Ralph Gibson frames the female form both organically and graphically, referencing art history while also innovating in the arena of erotic imagery, at once summoning visceral sensation and calling out for tactile attention. Thumb through this exquisite tribute to the contours and curves of womanhood and experience the intimacy of the photographic lens.
Reviving TASCHEN’s sold-out Collector’s Edition, this tribute gathers the best of Gibson’s exquisite nudes alongside some of his most recent works in an accessible, revised format, complete with a fresh in-depth interview by Eric Fischl. Strikingly graphic, meticulously composed, and loaded with subtle provocations, the master photographer’s mysterious, dreamlike images pay homage to greats such as Man Ray and Edward Weston, while continually pursuing new frontiers.
"A photographer once said that beauty in women is endless. Perhaps it was I who said it. [...] I love photographing women and could say that the form of the female body is absolute and perfect." —Ralph Gibson

Cuando la sensualidad se convierte en arte, no hay nada más que añadir. Perfectas imágenes de la sensualidad del cuerpo femenino, desde el principio al fin.Two good reasons
7 novembre 2021
A first good reason for having this book is that Gibson's photos aren't easy to find. A second good reason is that Gibson is an unusual nude photographer. You will not have glossy nudes of fashion models with manicured details and very fine grain. Gibson's models are often "normal" but, on the contrary, the shots, the poses are unusual. But these photos are striking. They almost always strike subliminally. Gibson accesses the senses in an indirect, collateral way. And the color photos are even more insidious, which seem out of fashion, out of fashion.Not fond of this color nudes

I'm not fond of the color pictures, the selection could have been a bit more strict (but at the same time it wouldn't have shown the diversity of Gibson's work)Un must !

Un photographe, un œil, un superbe livre qui invite à cultiver son regard ou simplement contempler de magnifiques photos en noir et blanc. Assister à une de ses conférences est en plus, un régal.
