That's exactly what happened until one day, in a rage, he stabbed the canvas and died. What remained was a flawless portrait of youth. Karl Lagerfeld has staged the core of Oscar Wilde's famous novel in his own way. He shows a luxurious Bohemian world as in the freeze-frames of a film. Young people celebrate, paying homage to beautiful bodies and devoting themselves to the moment. Right up until the metamorphosis begins. Then the young man changes into an old man and the pretty woman into her own death mask.This book tells the story as a film, reflecting a world of fashion and glamour, and suggesting the aesthetics of Caravaggio or the pre-Raphaelites. With this publication, Karl Lagerfeld, one of the great protagonists of the fashion scene, makes his contribution--not entirely irony-free--to the subject of the transitory nature of beauty.Product details ISBN-10: 3865210155 Publisher: Steidl Publication Year: 2004 Number Of Pages: 88 Binding: Hardcover Item Dimensions: 10x0.6x14.3 Inches Package Dimensions: 14.3x10x0.6 Inches GORGEOUS OVERSIZED MONOGRAPH BOOK PLEASE SEE OUR OTHER RARE DELUXE AND COLLECTIBLE BOOKS & RECORDS....LITERALLY HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS TO LIST.....WILL I LIVE THAT LONG????
