Description from the seller
Jean Ribière is a prominent French photojournalist of the 20th century, particularly renowned for his images of post-war France, everyday life, and popular traditions. His work sits within the humanist photography tradition, favoring street scenes, small trades, and portraits imbued with simplicity and humanity.
Biographical milestones
Born in Niort on February 9, 1922.
He began as a photographer for the newspaper L'Indépendant des Pyrénées-Orientales in 1940.
In 1944, with his wife and journalist Micheline Vialle, he founded the Ribière Presse Photos agency.
Their reports were published by numerous French and international media outlets, notably L'Express, L'Aurore, Paris Match, Keystone, and the BBC.
His work
Jean Ribière documented:
- Occupied and then liberated France during the 1940s;
- French countryside, markets, and regional traditions;
- Small trades and rural life;
- Sporting events and judicial chronicles.
His approach is characterized by a close proximity to his subjects and a particular attention to everyday gestures, which today underpins the documentary and artistic value of his work.
Seller's Story
THE TAYLOR GALLERY WORKSHOP
The Atelier / Galerie Taylor, located at 7, on the eponymous street in the 10th arrondissement in Paris, is a friendly place dedicated to photography. It was created thanks to image enthusiasts, José Nicolas, photographer and manager of the place with the support of Jean Vinégla.
Located a stone's throw from Place de la République, between rue du Château-d'eau and rue René-Boulanger, the place is dynamic, atypical and warm, resolutely turned towards sharing and mutual discovery of images at the 'international.
The Atelier / Galerie Taylor is familiarly inclined to exhibit film photography while remaining open to the wide range of contemporary imaging techniques.
It presents well-known and emerging photographers, with the aim of always surprising and arousing the curiosity of collectors and visitors.
Since its opening in September 2019, the Atelier / Galerie Taylor has carved out a good reputation, going from being a confidential place to a showroom recognized by professionals and collectors, both for the choice of its programming and for the quality of the prints on display.
