Yes, it’s already been 20 years since Claude Nougaro, the Toulouse cantor, left us. Born into music to a baritone father at the Paris Opera and a mother who won first prize in piano at the National Conservatory of Music. This kid, with an eventful life, was stuck between the freedom of his poetry and the rhythm of the played notes. A character, a temperament as we said at the…

"The series Bientôt nous danserons (Soon we’ll dance) was conceived and produced during the second lockdown. Like many, we view partying as a cultural and social value. Like many, we want it to last. Through these photographs, we navigate through this very special parenthesis of silence, pause, pleasure, desire and anticipation of celebrations, to remember that they are essential to our lives as social beings. The series presents a selection…

Scenes in the Park I have always made it a point to visit parks, in cities that I have visited over the years. Parks like Central Park in NY, Parc Mt. Royal in Montreal, Luxembourg Gardens in Paris, Hyde Park in London, and many others, offer a temporary escape from the boisterous hustling sounds and intense activity which are common today in these modern cities. Parks serve as a temporary refuge for people;…

Denis Brihat is dead. Solange, his wife, has just announced it to us. It is the last of the great dinosaurs of French photography which is disappearing. An unusual character. Jean-Jacques and I had the chance to spend time with him for several summers in a row. I remember the last lunch in their house in the Luberon on the heights of Bonnieux with an extraordinary view. The leg of…
Philippe Abergel presents an exhibition entitled I Remember until December 21 at Galerie XII in Santa Monica. He writes: The project arises from a reflexion on the medium of photography. Indeed, a framing, as perfect as it may be, is very rarely able to show the sensation that one experiences before the extraordinary richness of a landscape born of chaos. In order to reintroduce poetry and chance, Abergel has imagined…

Denim: The Fabric That Built America 1935-1944, is a celebration of an iconic cloth and a revealing portrait of how American workers made denim style’s most enduring inspiration. These photographs, many previously unseen, capture ordinary Americans of every race, young and old, relentlessly toiling – hands, face, boots and denim dirty – to push America out of the Great Depression into the prosperity of its post-War years. And all wearing…

This immersive, intimate, and meticulous experience invites visitors into the heart of the photographer’s creative process.

Rizzoli presents the book Guy Bourdin for Charles Jourdan, edited by Patrick Remy. A giant of modern fashion photography, Bourdin lent his surrealist eye to the shoes and fashions of Charles Jourdan. Creating compositions full of movement, color, and sensuality, this pioneering collaboration between designer and photographer still exerts a profound influence on modern fashion photography. The late 1960s saw some of the most dynamic periods in French fashion. And…

The vast cities of Chicago and Philadelphia offered Metzker a world of opportunities to explore, and allowed him to express himself intensely in a field where his peers and predecessors, notably his professors Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind at the Institute of…

The premiere of Dubious Appeal will be shown alongside previous work of the artist from her series, Garage Stills, Fringe Nature, and Memory Master.
