Lucien Clergue's Signs of Gods and Goddesses
On exhibition September 26 through November 23,
1997
Signs of Gods and Goddesses: Four Decades of Lucien Clergue's
Photography features nearly one hundred photographs
including studies of the
female nude, the bullfight, landscapes, the daily
life of the Gypsies and portraits of Clergue's
friends Picasso and Cocteau. It also includes portions of his most recent work combining studies of the
male and female nude with nineteenth century etchings of Milton's
Paradise Lost.
Clergue has said, "Three subjects are my main interest: death,
life and a kind of no-man's-land in between. The death of the bulls
at the bullfight, the nude female in true nature, landscape,
seascape, sandscape are the essentials of my permanent research to
find the beginnings of our world and ourselves."
