For more than 25 years, the nude series by Paolo Roversi called »Nudi« has been one of the most inspiring and aesthetic nude series in contemporary photography. A plain composition and a gentle use of light make the presented women appear like gracile painted nude studies. So, the viewer’s attention is directed to the shape and the pettiness of the female body.

Paolo Roversi was born in Italy in 1947 but has been living and working in Paris for more than 37 years. His photographs have been published in several monographs and also in plenty magazines like Harper’s Bazaar, Interview, Marie Claire, Vogue and the New York Times. The photographic oeuvre of Paolo Roversi is affected by the continuous aura of grace and fragility, but also of mystery and aloofness – a result of Roversi’s virtuosic handling of »painting with light.
