David lynch: nudes

Ten years after the exhibition The Air Is on Fire, which unveiled David Lynch’s photographic and painting work, the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain is publishing this book, which features more than 120 black-and-white and colour images of feminine nudes realized by the artist. These erotically charged photographs are close to abstraction, offering kaleidoscopic visions of the woman. They attest to David Lynch’s fascination with the infinite variety of the human body, while being in line with his cinematographic work. ‘I like to photograph naked women. The infinite variety of the human body is fascinating: it is amazing and magic to see how different women are’ David Lynch
