While in Paris I saw the retrospective of the French illustrator, photographer and art director Jean Paul Goude. For those who don't recognize the name you will recognize some of the images. He became most well known for his work with Grace Jones, who was not only his muse but the mother of his child. He worked in New York as the art director for Esquire and also at New York Magazine. He has been an art director, a filmmaker and a mainstay in the world of fashion advertising and design.

The show is in a giant room at The Musee des Art Decoratifs. I was blown away by it.
