New from high-profile fashion photographer Thierry Le Gouès comes a lavish artist`s book, Popular, an earthy, luring tome of the rarely shown Havana social scene. In Le Gouès` provocative duotone and sensuous four-color photographs, we`re seduced by a culture of great joy amongst great poverty: raucous, heat-soaked street parties; spirited sparring matches in crumbling gymnasiums; voluptuous nudes plying their wares in derelict mansions; wizened balladeers savoring impossibly large Cohibas...
Le Gouès` models are drawn from the street: a mixture of Buena Vista Social Club stars and underground legends, the miscegenation of which, in Le Gouès` expert fashion sense, serves to create a raw, sexy style--one of abandon out of necessity, out of a lust for life--a spirit Le Gouès sees in Cuba as ubiquitous as the cigarettes from which the book draws its name.
