A collection of photographs by Guy Bourdin, a French photographer who represents the 20th century. Guy Bourdin was active in the fashion photography world in the 1960s and 1980s, including the French version of Vogue and Charles Jourdan. 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. During his lifetime, Bourdan stuck to original works and refused to publish exhibitions and photo books. However, in 2001, 10 years after his death, the whole picture was released by his relatives, and since then, photo books and retrospective exhibitions have been held. This book is one of the pocket book series nominated by many well-known photographers (also Nobuyoshi Araki in Japan), and is a collection of representative works in a compact manner.
