LUSTRE FETISH NIGHT - Gérard Musy
Lustre evokes shine, surfaces and glitter. In eighteenth-century French art, "nothing mattered more than the turn of a phrase that put sparkle on a platitude of love" (G.H. Whittet). For artist Gérard Musy, photographic language offers its own eloquent syntax, its own potential for scintillating turns of phrase. Today, sparkle emanates from leather and latex, chain and whip, and is captured and sealed in the silver of Musy's photographic prints.
