Selected images

Three gelatin silver prints by Lucien Clergue showcase the French photographer's masterful command of light, shadow, and form. Known for his evocative imagery rooted in the landscapes and traditions of his native Provence, Clergue brings a poetic sensibility to his subjects, which often include the female nude, bullfighting, and natural textures. The rich tonal depth of the gelatin silver process enhances the dramatic contrasts and lyrical beauty characteristic of his celebrated body of work.
