FANTASTIC EROTIC PHOTOBOOK - in BRANDNEW CONDITION (!).
"IN LOVING MEMORY OF MARC LAGRANGE 1957-2015"

"My fascination with sculpture led me to seek out settings that somehow embody the sculptural arts. For this oeuvre we travelled to Pietrasanta (Italy), which has long enjoyed the patronage of artists, due to the region’s fine marble, which has been treasured since the days of Michelangelo. Staying closer to home, the Handelsbeurs in Antwerp was an irresistible temptation."

"Only through dedication and enviable skill can an art truly be mastered. All the more remarkable, then, is the artist who expands his field of work and ventures beyond his own distinctive and celebrated style. Most would not even dare to contemplate such a risk. Yet in Senza Parole, Marc Lagrange has the boldness to make this exciting leap, presenting a wide range of unmistakable photographic approaches—from stark, unflinching nude studies to the more complex and exotic compositions that are typically his trademark.
Lagrange’s devoted followers will once again find the fairy-tale eroticism and technical perfection for which the photographer is known and celebrated. But beyond that, in this book no image resembles another. And, as one would expect, every scene has been carefully arranged, with no detail left to chance.
Marc Lagrange’s fascination with everything sculptural led him to search for settings that, in some way, embody the art of sculpture. For this work, he therefore traveled to Pietrasanta in Italy. Because of the region’s fine marble—already highly prized in the time of Michelangelo—the town has long been a magnet for artists. Back home in Antwerp, Lagrange could not resist the temptation of the iconic “Handelsbeurs,” an architectural marvel in every sense of the word. His final stop was Paris, where an artist’s loft steeped in baroque decadence provided the perfect atmosphere for a Fellini-inspired shoot."

Great erotic photobook by Marc Langrange - in perfect condition.

To quote Marc Lagrange himself:
"In my sensually staged artwork, these photographs are part of an elaborate dress code of seduction. A beautiful model can be like a diamond… No? Someone who gets all the attention in a shot and becomes the essence of my image."

"Filled with longing and sensuality, Marc Lagrange’s photographs celebrate fantasies and desire - placing beauty and dreams at the center of his world. Lagrange was born in Kinshasa, Congo, in 1957. His career path led him from engineering to photography, and his reactivity from fashion to art. Privileging analog over digital, the Antwerp-based Belgian artist searches for intimacy and emotion as opposed to artificial effects. His giant Polaroids - which have been exhibited worldwide—are a powerful example of his craft as well as his attention to detail: he can display the texture of skin, highlight natural curves and make his models stand out."
