Today I went to see the exhibition of French artist Jean-Paul Goude at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs.JP Goude is a multi disciplinary artist: graphic designer, illustrator, photographer, film director. He was the artistic director of Esquire magazine in NYC for a decade. He created several well known campaigns for Citroen (with Grace Jones, she was his muse and had a son together), Chanel (Egoiste, Coco with Vanessa Paradis), Kodak and the Galeries Lafayette. In 1989 He was asked by the French government to stage the bicentenary of the French Revolution on the Champs Elysées. You can see here his sketchbook illustrating some of the costume designs.
You can view a compilation of his work here.
