Goudemalion exhibition. Jean-Paul Goude’s imagination was equally fertile
in the presence of a number of fascinating women whose image he magnified by
means of what he referred to as the “French correction”, a method of stylizing
and transforming bodies, foreshadowing many of today’s computer techniques. By
disguising, transforming and restructuring, cutting up an increasing number of
ektachromes, he brought to life a succession of fabulous creatures, figures from
his own personal mythology. Grace Jones
(above), for who he produced both images and shows, is undoubtedly the most
famous of these icons.
