Rating:  - Disco Fever
Art Director Jean Paul Goude is clearly among those artists who faced their inner drives fearlessly and rewarded the world with unforgettable images of spectacular artistic merit, craft and style. This body of work was primarily created during the late seventies when sex, drugs and fashion were celebrated to a throbbing disco beat and new york city lead the world in hip/urban cultural expression. JPG was lucky enough to have found the entertainer Grace Jones and she, in turn, was smart enough to ... Read More
Rating: - Mind Blowing Photo Art
Goude and Grace Jones were lovers, and he is the father of their beautiful son, Paulo. He and Grace Jones created the vision for her magnificent "One Man Show" and much of the theatrics of her stage shows.
Goude writes brilliant essays to accompany his stunning photography of such concepts as 'Grace Jones,' Puerto Ricans, Gays of the late 70's.
It's one of my most treasured books and always is a favourite when guests drop by.

Rating: - Extraordinary exotically erotic!
Jungle Fever is a dazzling excursion through the international underworld of beauty, humor and eroticism. Grace Jones on the cover, naked inside a tiger's cage is breathtaking. Also featured are Kellie the Evangelist Stripper, Sabu, Gene Kelly, Zouzou et many more. French artist Goude is a painter, photographer, dancer, couturier and more, an artist who uses the best means to get a point across. This book is out of print but search for a copy, it is the most original book I have ever come across.
