Jean-Paul Goude: Jungle Fever. This book was given to me around 20 years ago after my uncle died. He loved photography, and knowing I did too he left me a box full of photography books. Most of them were of this kind, how to develop or shoot with artificial light, but this one struck my attention. I didn’t know anything about Jean-Paul at the time but I remember I kept it like a treasure until I learnt more about his work, and finally met him in person las year. It was nice to close the circle and get him to sign it for me. Above.

The book includes a series of texts and sketches with various anecdotes and auto-biographical references, all of which inform the works displayed. Goude's obsession with the black female body is evident throughout this book, in particular, his friendship and work with musician Grace Jones. Jean-Paul Goude 1 (Artist).

Goude and Grace Jones were lovers, and he is the father of their beautiful son, Paulo. He and Grace Jones created the vision for her magnificent "One Man Show" and much of the theatrics of her stage shows.

Goude writes brilliant essays to accompany his stunning photography of such concepts as 'Grace Jones,' Puerto Ricans, Gays of the late 70's.

It's one of my most treasured books and always is a favourite when guests drop by.

Art Director Jean Paul Goude is clearly among those artists who faced their inner drives fearlessly and rewarded the world with unforgettable images of spectacular artistic merit, craft and style. This body of work was primarily created during the late seventies when sex, drugs and fashion were celebrated to a throbbing disco beat and new york city lead the world in hip/urban cultural expression. JPG was lucky enough to have found the entertainer Grace Jones and she, in turn, was smart enough to let him transform her into a legendary icon of performance art that fused fashion , music and a extra strong dose of stylishly erotic provocation.

People can choose to see his strong interest in black women as exploitive and racial insensitivity, or they can focus on the strength of a master visionary who captured the visual vocabulary of a specific time and place and maxed it out. The newly energized gay movement of that time fed into JPG's imagination, adding a heightened sense of the physical form and sensual drama to his portfolio.

A brilliant record of the party life in manhattan mixing high and low, black and white, women and men and everything in between with joyful abandon.
