Lucien Clergue is a French Photographer from Arles, and renowned for his
Nu zébré.
He was a friend of
Picasso and
Jean Cocteau.
He still gives the occasional
talk:
Ansel said to me "I have been here for 40 years and I have never seen what you see."
Clergue: " I am Mediterranean by birth. What you see, I don't see. I look at the details."

He liked blue. In fact, he patented his own
blue. He like to claim that he could
fly unaided. There was a
movie. In it, he colored naked women blue and had them make a
painting. The film treated this comically, and he was crushed. Two weeks after the film opened, he died of a heart attack.

Mr. Spock's Nudes David Bowman talks to 72-year-old
Leonard Nimoy about Leonard Cohen's music, the famous Vulcan hand sign, and his movie career, but especially about his
new book of female nude photographs, and how they relate to the Kabbalistic idea of Shekhinah. Nimoy comes across as more than a little flaky (but that's
nothing new); turns out he can also be thoughtful, perceptive, and dryly funny.
