I am not a director, merely an agent of chance.? - Guy Bourdin Protege of Man Ray, principal photographer of Vogue France, inspiration for the fashion world's favorite photographers, and immortalized in the collections of The Getty, Tate, MoMA, and VandA museums, Guy Bourdin is not to be left out of the pantheon of the world's greatest photographers. Bourdin played on themes of decadence, surrealism, and visual narratives during his tenure at Vogue, and is credited with inventing the double spread. Finding beauty in the unlikeliest of places, his work has a hauntingly evocative quality typical of fine art. Guy Bourdin: Image Maker is an exploration of the photographer's iconic imagery, featuring archival material yet unpublished, including original, never-before-seen Vogue layouts, hand-clipped and annotated layouts, Polaroids, and paintings.
