By the draftsman, painter, engraver and decorator, Yvon Adam (Grand-Halleux, 1932-2017) whose greatest subject of inspiration is none other than women. In a search for linearity that is reminiscent of Bellmer, he graphically exploits female sexuality in the most of his work. He experimented with new photography techniques between 1960 and 1961 and was professor of graphic arts at the Institute of Decorative Arts in Liège from 1961 to 1974. Adam also created banknotes for the National Bank of Belgium. 4 of 5 photos with rounded blind-stamped shapes.
