Eight years ago, Bob Carlos Clarke committed suicide. Born in Ireland, he’s one of UK’s most underrated photographers. He’s also one of the great erotic photographers. Ghislain Pascal and the Little Black Gallery in London is paying him tribute with a retrospective which opened last Saturday.
"‘Love Dolls Never Die’ is a sexy, tongue - in - cheek view of the current and uncomfortable relationship between the sexes. As British women grow stronger and more man - shaped, sexier, drunker, richer, more demanding and generally less compliant, men have adopted alice bands, skin care regimes, and twice monthly weeping. Hardly surprising then, that the enfeebled Y - chromosome is teetering towards total extinction. "
