Publication: Nee de la Vague - Pierre Belfond
Lucien Clergue's Nyu de la Mer Camargue (1979) is a poetic black-and-white photograph that captures the human form in an intimate, natural setting. This piece, from Clergue’s Nee de la Vague series, presents a close-up of a nude body partially submerged in water, with light delicately reflecting off the skin and water’s surface. The interplay of shadows and highlights accentuates the curves and texture of the figure, creating a sensuous and contemplative image. The granular quality of the sand and the rippling reflections enhance the organic, tactile feel, immersing the viewer in the scene’s quiet intimacy. This photograph exemplifies Clergue’s mastery of using natural elements to elevate the beauty of the human form.

What is photorealism?
Photorealism is a genre of art or artistic movement that involves drawing, painting, and other graphic media in which the artist carefully studies a photograph and attempts to reproduce it as realistically as possible in another medium. While the term can broadly describe any artwork created in this manner, it specifically refers to a group of painters and paintings in the U.S. art movement that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
