This exhibition is a portrait gallery portraying 54 great legends: an unforgettable sequence of sweet photos of Marylin Monroe, followed by mistress of elegance Coco Chanel, attractive Jeanne Moreau, gorgeous Romy Schneider, sensual Brigitte Bardot, and then Jacques Henri Lartigue, Man Ray, Andy Warhol, Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro… All the photos reveal the delight of seduction, in a “cat and mouse” game between the photographer and the star. Douglas always manages to rid his subject of all inhibitions: “I’m here to make you more beautiful, I don’t want to change you, seduce me… come on, show me what you’ve got”. Another of his talents was for creation of lasting icons, a gift he was able to develop thanks to his incessant contact with beauty, fame and legend.
