Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Fornol, Luc and Auger, Benjamin (Photographs) (illustrator). A clean, unmarked and solid copy. 144 pages. Overseas customers please note the book is heavy and will attract addional postage. "This book was sparked by a three-way encounter in 1958 between an artist, a woman, and a photographer: Luc Fournol, then doing a photo spread on the seaside resort of Saint-Tropez, introduced Bernard to Annabel. Now, forty-five years later, Annabel - who became Bernard's wife and life-long companion - comments on pictures taken over the years by Luc, who remained their loyal friend. Because the secret life of an artist truly resides in his work, the mysteries of the studio can be harder to penetrate than the mysteries of the boudoir. Only a close friend could be privy to the struggle of an artist always plagued by anxiety, a struggle that yielded the first portrait of Annabel, the Passion of Christ, figures of the damned from Dante's "Inferno", and his ever-risky self-portraits.".
