LUCIEN CLERGUE Magic & Myth "The poet with the camera"
18 October 2007 – 17 February 2008 KunstHausWien

Catalogue in german and english at the MuseumShop>kunsthauswien.com


Jean Cocteau described French photographer Lucien Clergue as the “poet with the camera”; Pablo Picasso, who was his friend and acknowledged the art of Lucien Clergue at a very early stage, compared his nudes with the works of the famous painters Renoir, Manet and Velázquez in the 1950s.

Lucien Clergue’s roots remain in his birthplace Arles in the South of France, where he still lives and works. Lucien Clergue creates “images of reality" not submitting to any passing fashion. The contents are the existential topics – the conditions of humanity, the relation between nature and the human being.
