• George Dureau
• The Photographs is an album of the great photographic portraits made throughout the forty years of Dureau’s artistic career―a New Orleans romance between the photographer and his subjects
• All of Dureau’s exquisite photographs
• Many of them nudes
• Were made in his studio in the French Quarter of New Orleans
• Or on the city’s streets
• He began photography for the pleasure of photographing his lovers
• And as research material for his paintings
• Only later on did he begin to take his photographs seriously as works of art in their own right
• Many of his subjects became part of Dureau’s “extended family
