Renée Jacobs – PARIS.

10 year anniversary reprint edition with some new images. Herausgeber Alexander Scholz. 2nd Edition. Galerie Vevais, Bliesdorf 2022. 21 x 17 cm. 140 S. Broschur.- Renée Jacobs’ Paris is of course a book of nudes, but it is much more than that. It is a document of how a woman sees women in the City of Love. Renée Jacobs’ photos are new in many dimensions. Hers is not a simple erotic picture book from Paris, not a new version of just another erotic book, not a new nude book, and not a new art project of the nude. This book is the very example of a photographer of the female nude who has a social vision, a vision of freedom, secrets, desires, fantasies, dreams and liberty. The important thing here is that the artist does not simply use models for her idea of Paris. Her art – her entire purpose – is to make a collaborative project, a project for her models, as well – models she knows, not anonymous models from a database or an agency. Renée Jacobs’ fine art nude photography gives the viewer a luxurious peek into the ultra-sensual world of the feminine. Beyond sexy, her photographs are dreamy and secretive, daring and alluring. Her subjects give Renée their trust and the result is a collaborative journey which fulfills fantasies, reveals outrageous seductions and most importantly expresses the power of woman.
