Lucien Clergue's Photography..


Lucien Clergue is a French photographer. Jean Cocteau described Clergue as 'a poet with a camera.' Pablo Picasso proclaimed Clergue 'the Monet of the camera.' Nudes are one of the most difficult subjects to get just right, and each viewer will have his or her own personal definitions of what is graceful, or tasteful, or altogether too much. Clergue's nudes however walk the tightrope of exquisiteness and provocation.
