Escape from Circumstances can be described as a "school of seeing". In the past Karl Lagerfeld's photographic work has been characterised by the following subjects: landscape, body-parts and architecture. These topics are reflected in some of his books, in Partipris and Casa Malaparte, to name but a few. This study seems to be the logical consequence of this pursuit and the key to his current creative power. In full-bleed plates Lagerfeld presents the different forms of nature, alongside elements of the human body. The human body stands as a "model" for various types of buildings, which are, in an ideal case, in harmony with the human being and nature. The arrangement of these pictures illustrate the anthropomorphic form in its natural and artificial environments.

By A Customer
This review is from: Karl Lagerfeld: Escape from Circumstances (Hardcover)
In his latest book, Karl Lagerfeld has tried to bring nature together with the human body.The many pictures are showing the human in the same picture with its natural environment. This offcourse makes an unique picture. The book is presented in an slipcase and is offcourse a hardback version.Please also look at some other books by Karl Lagerfeld: Casa Malaparte,The house in the Trees and Tadao Ando-Vitra House.Karl Lagerfeld is a master in many fields: Fashion,Photography,Interior and more. Applause please!
