ART: Guy Bourdin – Image Maker
The works of enigmatic French fashion photographer Guy Bourdin takes centre stage at Somerset House with the display of never before seen films, drawings, paintings and sketches, and notorious fashion photographs.
After beginning his professional career with Vogue Paris in the 1950s, Bourdin’s work rose to fame in the 1970s with his exploration of provocative and surrealist themes, and has been heralded as the catalyst that changed fashion photography since.
