Goudemalion

 

The Musée des Arts Décoratifs is currently showing the first exhibition of Jean-Paul Goude’s work in Paris. This master of style, whose resolutely avant-garde and multidisciplinary work - whether as an illustrator, photographer, and art editor for "Esquire" , or as the director of exquisitely iconoclastic films for Chanel perfumes, or as the orchestrator of spectacular performances, from his former partner Grace Jones’s groundbreaking music videos to the dazzling parade he staged for the 1989 bicentennial of the French Revolution - constantly blur the boundaries between publicity and high art. The exhibition will close on 18 March 2012.
