Goudemalion at Musée des Arts décoratifs

A retrospective exposition of the works of Jean-Paul Goude. This brilliant “image maker” was the man in the 80′s who made an icon of Grace Jones. He made Egoïste and Coco of Chanel hot. And who doesn’t remember his advertisements for Kodak, Citroën and Guerlain ! The exhibition shows photo’s, paintings, etc but also a “life” installation.

He calls his style “The French correction” with a lot of humor, a feeling for fashion and trendiness and not to forget his passion for exotic women.

Goudemalion until 18/03 at Musée des Arts Décoratifs, 107, Rue de Rivoli,
