Beauty Culture, a photographic exploration of how feminine beauty is defined, challenged and revered in modern society. Featuring works from iconic photographers such as Albert Watson, Bert Stern, Herb Ritts, Man Ray, Jean-Paul Goude, Guy Bourdin, Horst, Melvin Sokolsky, Matthew Rolston, Philippe Halsman, Lauren Greenfield and Tyen, Beauty Culture encourages a social dialogue about the allure and mystique of the pursuit of female beauty, as well as the cult-like glorification and multi-billion dollar industries that surround it.

Ses films « Thin » et « Girl Culture » m’ont été très utiles pour « Beauté fatale », et « The Queen of Versailles »... pour « Chez soi ».

Before she directed the critically lauded documentary “The Queen of Versailles,” about the construction of the largest mansion in the country and the wealthy weirdoes who contracted it, filmmaker Lauren Greenfield made her feature debut with “Thin,” a nonfiction portrait of four anorexia sufferers.

Greenfield returns to the hazards of beauty in an episode of KCET’s “Artbound” called “Beauty CULTure.” Women and Hollywood has an exclusive clip from the 30-minute program that features Jamie Lee Curtis, porn actress Cindy Margolis, “Toddlers & Tiaras” star Eden Wood and her mother, and Greenfield herself discussing what beauty — and its dictates — mean to them.

Here’s the press description for the episode:

"Beauty Culture investigates our obsession with beauty and the influence of photographic representations on female body image. Film subjects hail from diverse points on the beauty landscape. Fashion photographers, child pageant stars, bodybuilders, teenagers, and intellectuals engage in a provocative dialogue that addresses the persistent ’beauty contest’ of daily life.
