Jean-Paul Goude: So Far, So Goude (Part 3/3)

Official documentary video and career highlight as included with the book. This release is a hidden gem few people know about. If you like it, buy it!

"So Far, So Goude" represents Goude's work from the late 1960s up to the present. It is, in fact, an artist s autobiography, the life told through the work, since Goude has never been able or willing to separate his personal growth and personal desires from his art. Beginning with the strongest influences of his early years, it moves with unusual honesty and a good deal of humour through his teenage love of dance (his mother was a Broadway dancer), sport and jazz; his youthful hangouts in the sixties; his years at art school and his discovery of drawing as a means of seduction; his time at Esquire; his revolutionary work with Grace Jones for Jungle Fever; his videos for MTV and for Azzedine; his advertising work for Lee Cooper, Chanel, Cacharel; his involvement with the Bicentennial Parade; his wife and family...

I agree. But its nearly an ironic rule in the field of commercial photography that the visionaries grow old forgotten and penniless (think of Bourdin :) while the copycats and routinists who just duplicate their work are celebrated...

He is a completely under-rated genius, I love his work, this is a brilliant synopsis of it...thanks for posting.

Goude's commercials for Kodak were uber-creative...R.I.P. Kodachrome film. The French event was so damn stylish thanks to Jean-Paul...it made the American Bicentenial celebration look lame.
