Michel Comte: Neoclassic (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783958297517)

The august fashion photographer's visual portrait of the neoclassical style

Through photos, reproductions of neoclassical treasures and reworked images of masterpieces such as Michelangelo's Piet , Michel Comte (born 1954) traces the classical aesthetic and its rebirth as neoclassicism throughout the ages. In Comte's words, the neoclassic demonstrates a "dream of perfection," one we are seduced by even as we know its danger.
