Irina Ionesco is a French photographer born in the thirties whose work is largely erotic and sensual. She first showcased her photography in 1975 and created a minor scandal in the art world when she started taking pictures of her five year old daughter in a seductive manner [see the second and third pics below.] What's interesting about those particular photographs is that they don't appear to be of a child. And, they are strangely beautiful and unnerving, as is most of Ionesco's work.
Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don’t start measuring her limbs.
- Pablo Picasso
Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in a way film does, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.
