Description from the seller
Photo AFP
Politics, May ’68 Demonstrations
Police officer injured
RC silver gelatin print, 24 x 18
The authorities played a central role during the events of May ’68 in France.
In Paris, it was mainly the Republican Security Companies (CRS) and police officers of the Prefecture of Police who were mobilized against student and worker demonstrations.
The nights of the Latin Quarter, notably those of May 10–11, 1968 ('night of the barricades'), were marked by:
• violent clashes;
• hundreds of injuries;
• widespread use of tear gas grenades and batons;
• numerous arrests.
Slogans like 'CRS = SS' then expressed the hatred of a part of the demonstrators towards the police, even though this comparison was obviously controversial and excessive.
Seller's Story
“L’œil du Douard” is dedicated to all lovers of photography.
This site offers prints from my personal collection featuring renowned "signatures", as well as prints entrusted to me by collectors for private sale. The proofs are mostly printed manually and using the silver process.
In 2019, with the creation of the Atelier/Galerie Taylor in Paris, I extend another way of the medium. Transmit, accompany and promote the work of photographers who are dear to me, both from the 20th century and more contemporary.
The images offered here touch me, challenge me, sometimes question, often inspire. Thank you to all those who have nourished my life path with their precious presence and support over the years and tomorrow!
This site is a tribute to photographers and their work.
