Carlo Mollino: Polaroids
First to recommend
Description
Oh, Carlo. You were an architect, a fabulous furniture designer, race car enthusiast & who knew - a master of the polaroid camera. You chose to keep your pics of beautiful naked prostitutes all to yourself which made us covet them even more when they were discovered. You know what you do to us! This book is pricey but its safe to say no one else you know will have it & everyone will want it! So vintage & so cool.

david lachapelle makes glossy plastic images - new surrealism - in acid brights with a little paradox thrown in for good measure. my favorite is his portrait of angelina jolie. sublime.
