ANTONIO GUCCIONE
From Jesus to Yves Saint Laurent
1947 –
Italian Photographer of the fashion system, Antonio Guccione is the unmistakable
protagonist of many advertising campaigns for Gucci, Prada, Versace, Yves Saint
Laurent and has shot in his thirty year career the most beautiful women in the
world. His sharp and natural portraits show women always spectacularly authentic
as iconic figures of style and beauty.
His work can be seen in different publications as Absolute Statehood, Faces of New
York, Fashion and Faces. Photographer of the stars and star system, Antonio
Guccione shot Richard Gere, Dustin Hoffmann, Kate Moss, Tyra Banks, Giorgio
Armani, Elle McPherson, Federico Fellini, Carla Bruni, Roberto Bolle… An
outstanding work with no post production involved.
Vanitas vanitatum et omnia vanitas. Vanitas is a symbolic work of art (often a still
life painting in the Flemish 16th Century culture) suggesting the meaninglessness of
earthly life and the transient nature of all goods and pursuit. « Skulls », is the latest
and most introspective work of Antonio Guccione. After portraying fashion on
glossy paper, he is now suggesting an amazing voyage and an invitation to
meditation through ironical portraits of selected figures from the past.
