DESCRIPTION:
Thus Spoke LaChapelle is the first retrospective of the artist’s work to include photographs from the mid–1980s up to the present, plus a range of work that has never previously appeared. His über-pop color portraits of celebrities such as Cameron Diaz, Marilyn Manson and Kanye West (whom he has portrayed, respectively, as King Kong, a crossing guard and Black Jesus) have propelled his work outside the closed society of galleries and museums into a wider public arena. The photographs of David LaChapelle (born 1963) are among the most instantly recognizable images in contemporary photography. More than an exhibition catalogue, this book presents the culmination of LaChapelle’s artistic activity to date: a world in which religious iconography comes in pink latex trappings and a new surrealism explodes in the conjunction of flaming pianos, giant hamburgers, orally fixated Triceratops and Day-Glo disaster sites.
"Love the book and this is a great collection of" according to J Kent. Love the book and this is a great collection of LaChapelle work. If you're looking for a coffee table style book with a compilation of his work you won't go wrong here. Would have been five stars but the book did show up with small dings to the hardcover.. Joe I. said Coffee table book. Solid purchase. Five Stars I love him!
