Lucien Clergue is a French photographer who shoots nude. Jean Cocteau called him a "poet with a camera", Pablo Picasso — "Monet with a camera". Nude is one of the most difficult genres in terms of working with an object, and everyone looking at the pictures will have their own ideas about grace, good taste and the facets of decency. Clergue's photographs are just on the verge of sophistication and provocation.
