| Meer info | Campstyle, in behaviour, clothing, artistic output or emotion, has never been properly explored or defined. Many have asked, what is it, what are its origins. And what do the camp figures of the court of Louis XIV have in common with the wit of Oscar Wilde? The paintings of Salvador Dali with the photographs of Cecil Beaton? The macho posturings of Mick Jagger with the frivolous hysterics of Ronald Firbank? Jean Cocteau, as camp a figure as Paris has ever produced, said in 'Vanity Fair' in 1922, 'I am a lie that tells the truth.' This paradox is the basic of Philip Core's personal definition of camp, seen from the inside. His savagely witty depictions of more than two centuries of camp find it embodied in personalities and places, objects and artefacts. Philip Core has written a Who's Who and a What's What of Camp, a deceptively descriptive and factual lexicon, allowing the readere to build up a kaleidoscopic picture of camp without imposing a spurious socio-cultural gloss on its essentially ephemeral nature. It is complemented with over 150 rare and stunning photographs and a vivacious foreword by England's foremost authority on surrealism, eccentric behaviour and hats - jazzsinger George Melly. |
