Née le 19 mars 1940, ce n'est qu'en 1970 que Claude Alexandre se mettra à la photo. Elle se spécialise dans les portraits de corps, de couples, puis dans le sadomasochisme, le fétichisme, les "attachements ", enfin dans la tauromachie et les lieux sacrés de Séville. Très vite des ouvrages présentent son travail : Peaux d'hommes, 1979; L'Ordre des ténèbres, 1988; Claude Alexandre, 1988; Gewalt und Zärtlichkeit,1993; Corps Obscur, 1996; Pietragalla, 1996 ; Brigitte Lahaie,1999; Le Sang du Toro, 2003; Le Sourire du chat, 2002; Toros, 2007; Regard, 2007. À ces ouvrages dont beaucoup sont aujourd'hui épuisés, il faut ajouter de nombreuses publications collectives, des articles dans des journaux et des revues. Plus de soixante expositions lui seront consacrées, personnelles ou collectives, en France, en Europe et aux États-Unis - dont une exposition organisée par la Ville de Paris, qui fera scandale. Corps sacré est une rétrospective photographique biographique. Aux côtés de Claude Alexandre, de nombreux auteurs ponctuent son oeuvre. Leurs écrits bordent sa vie, sa création et tentent de cerner un univers extrême qui part de la chair pour aboutir au sacré. "" ********************************* ref 526sc ref 152b.

Mais la trace de la foi ne s'inscrit pas uniquement dans le dur et l'impérissable. L'être humain affirme également par son corps - en modifiant sa forme, son volume, la texture de sa peau, sa chevelure. - son appartenance à un groupe, son aspiration à un idéal, son dévouement à un dieu ou à des dieux. À travers une centaine de photographies étonnantes, cet ouvrage propose quelques pistes pour mieux comprendre les liens du corps et du sacré. "" ***************************** ref.

The wear is honest, and reflects the character and journey of its centuries old life. Ex library, each volume bears a stamp on the title page and on the front pastedown reading "Library Sulpician Seminary, Washington, D.C.", yet there is very little library spore. Leaves show age toning and foxing throughout, yet the text is uncompromised and legible. Some joints are weakening, yet bindings remain sound, with the understanding that works of this age should be handled with reverence and care. Six of the seven volumes are rated "very good". The seventh is in "fair" condition, as the spine shows erosion, the remainder of a library label is at the foot, and boards are braced with vintage black tape. Provenance is indicated by a previous owner's bookplate, which is attached to each front pastedown, reading: "Charles Carroll of Inner Temple England, Second Son of Daniell Carroll of Litterlouna England in the Kings County in the Kingdom of Ireland 1702." A lovely piece of history and beautiful for any collector, particularly of early 18th century religious works in French. ABOUT THE AUTHOR & THIS SET (Which is Part One): "Isaac-Joseph Berruyer (1681 to 1758, Paris) was a French Jesuit historian. He entered the Society of Jesus in 1697. He is most famous for his work A History of the People of God, published in three parts. The first part of his History bears the title Histoire du peuple de Dieu depuis son origine jusqu. la venue du Messie (7 vols., Paris, 1728). A revised and augmented edition of this was published in Paris in 1733. Next followed (Paris, 1734), a supplement, containing a continuation of the prophecies of the Old Testament, the History of Job, maps necessary for understanding the sacred history, etc. By 1736 seven editions of the work had been issued. It was translated into German, Italian, Spanish, and Polish. The second part of his History was published, also at Paris, in 1753 under the title Histoire du peuple de Dieu depuis la naissance du Messie jusqu. la fin de la Synagogue in 1754, plus exacte appeared at Antwerp (8 vols.) and in 1755, at Paris, still another edition (4 vols.). The latter contained five questions: (1) On Christ, the object of scriptures; (2) On Christ, the Son of God; (3) On Christ, the Son of Man; (4) On Christ, the founder of a new religion; (5) On the Presentation of Christ in the Temple and the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary. According to Augustin de Backer this second part of the History was published without the knowledge, and against the will, of the superiors in the Jesuit house in Paris. Berruyer put his name to only a small number of copies of this publication. The third p.
