In connection with the Jean-Paul Goude exhibition at Musee des Arts Decoratif, Paris.There has come a catalogue for the exhibition and some other books about the artist and his famouse works are also being presented:

So Far so Goude, by Thames and Hudson Publishers.

So Far So Goude

(includes free DVD)
‘A vibrant visual autobiography … a sharp exploration of an exceptional artistic journey’ – i-D Magazine
‘An amusing, challenging book of arresting and memorable images’– The Sunday Times
‘A lavish trip into a world of hard glamour and mind-boggling imagery’– Wonderland

Jean-Paul Goude has triumphantly captured, time after time, the spirit of his age. A true publishing event – Goude has previously published only one book, now long out of print – this magnificent publication has been conceived and designed by the artist himself, and includes hundreds of little-known photographs and previously unseen drawings.

For more than thirty years, through drawing, poster design, photography, cinema, video and event design, Jean-Paul Goude has made an impression, in every sense, on our imagination – from the fops of the ’60s to the legendaryEsquire magazine of the following decade, from the New York of Andy Warhol and mixed cultures, to Grace Jones, for whom he was Pygmalion, from the spectacular Bicentennial Parade in Paris in 1989 to the celebration of ‘Style Beur’ (Arab Style), from ads for Kodak and Chanel to working with the latest supermodels.

This ‘made to order’ work is merely the flipside of Goude’s profoundly individual adventure, a journey (marked in particular by his celebration of a number of remarkable women) transformed into a sort of personal mythology. Life and work for Goude are inextricably linked, and this gives his work a particularly personal cachet, and lifts it above mere images. It is this crossover is revealed here for the first time.

Looking at different episodes in his life, returning to his encounters, passions, moments of disillusionment, drive and discovery, Goude traces the whole of his journey and all the stages of his working life, one of the most exceptional in recent decades.

A DVD, also devised by Goude using his work in film and from various theatrical events he has staged, accompanies the book.

    ‘Brilliantly conceived … not just Goude, but great’ – Harper’s Bazaar

    One of the world’s most brilliant and unorthodox image-makers and one of advertising’s most sought-after stars

    Goude has masterminded campaigns for Chanel, Perrier, Kodak and many others.

    Published to accompany a major retrospective of Jean-Paul Goude’s work at theMusée des Arts Decoratifs in Paris in 2011, this is the largest collection of his work ever seen (and many are seen here for the first time) – sketches, paintings, storyboards, elaborately staged photography, and documentation for stage and street shows.

    From his days with Esquire magazine in New York to his most recent work for Galeries Lafayette, Paris’s best-known department store, Goude has surprised, provoked and delighted those who have encountered his work. He was Grace Jones’s Pygmalion, creating unforgettable images of her, from androgyne to cybersuper-woman to supreme diva.

    600 colour illustrations here, including many working documents, from inspired doodles to final images that sparkle with creative vigour. Selected and arranged by Goude himself, they present a gallery of artworks that have redefined advertising, fashion and brand photography as we know them.

    This book is a celebration of Goude’s creative zest and perfectionism. It will inform and intrigue all those concerned about the art of image-making, whether design professionals or simply those prepared to be delighted and entertained by chic, witty images that work.

    Includes text contributions by Edgar Morin, George Lois, 
Jean-Paul Gaultier, Eric Troncy, Jérôme Sans.
