PARIS: Maison et Objet - Art - Design - Food - Restaurants - Fashion - People... and more


Paris - Les Arts Décoratifs:  Goudemalion exhibition.   Until March 18 at Les Arts Decoratifs museum is the first exhibition of Jean-Paul Goude’s work. Goude is one of the most brilliant ‘image makers’ of contemporary creation and the show proposes a retrospective and creative vision of his oeuvre encompassing all his areas of activity, from fashion and photography to advertising and live events. His entire forty-year career is retraced in the nave of the museum, featuring his drawings, objects, music, films and photographs. 
Conceived as a large installation, the exhibition also evokes the Bicentenary of the French Revolution he staged down the Champs Elysees in 1989.

PARIS: Jean-Paul Goude - Goudemalion exhibition.



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.
