French photographer Guy Bourdin's photo book "Guy Bourdin / Britain by Cadillac". Guy Bourdin was active in the fashion photography world in the 1960s and 1980s. Aspiring to be a painter when he was a student, Bourdan's style, influenced by Man Ray and Edward Weston, is a highly original modernism. It is sensual, provocative, and shocking, yet sophisticated and elegant, and is highly regarded as one of the contributors who pushed fashion photography into art. This book is a collection of works published at the exhibition held at the gallery in London from 2014 to 2015, and is a book composed of advertising photographs of Charles Jordan in 1979. Bourdan travels all over England in his own black Cadillac with a mannequin and Jordan shoes only below the knee, creating an image visual in an unconventional style that combines mannequins and shoes against a landscape background.
