Description from the seller

A superb exemplar of “Genèse,” a major work by photographer Lucien Clergue, illustrating themes drawn from the poet Saint-John Perse’s work “Amers” (Nobel Prize in Literature). A classic of twentieth-century nude photography, where the grain of the skin blends with the foam and the sand.

50 full-page heliogravures by Lucien Clergue, celebrating the female nude and marine elements (the "Nudes of the Sea" series).

Contains a reproduction of Saint-John Perse's dedication to Lucien Clergue.

Format: Large quarto, publisher's binding under an illustrated dust jacket.

Condition: Very good overall condition. Interior fresh, with no foxing or annotations. Dust jacket well preserved with slight yellowing and tears at the spine caps.
