L’oeil ouvert is presenting a selection of black-and-white photographs by André Perlstein. The prints were produced by hand using traditional methods at Arts Factory laboratory in Paris on Baryta paper with selenium tone, then signed and numbered by the artist. Here the photographer depicts a fabulous era when revolutionary, freedom-filled hearts were fighting for what they believed in music, movies, politics and society. Perlstein, a reporter for L’Express and Le Point, captures some of the biggest names of the 1970s—Coluche, Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens, Louis Amstrong, François Miterrand, Georges Marchais, Katharine Hepburn—in highly intimate moments.
