Description from the seller
Pierre Larcher - "Belles de nuit" - French - 30cm x 25cm - Hardcover with dust jacket
In very good condition, the book and its dust jacket show only light signs of wear.
The most beautiful French cinema actresses, theatre performers, or dancers, played along with photographer Jean-Pierre Larcher, who, with his Rolleiflex, probes the body and soul of his models. Under his gaze, Isabelle Huppert, Juliette Binoche, Emmanuelle Béart, Kristin Scott Thomas, Sandrine Bonnaire, Claire Nebout, Maruschka Detmers, Fabienne Babe, Anne Brochet, Julie Delphy, Claire Keim and many others submitted themselves to long sessions of posing in the light and at the mercy of chance, leaving behind an image of themselves that is pure, as if out of time.
The photographs by Jean-Pierre Larcher, with their extreme softness, offer us a troubling contemplation of the body, as if freed from gravity.
Jean-Pierre Haigneré, astronaut, signs the introductory text of this work and pays homage to this drawing of shadow and light that echoes his own experience: "Like a spacecraft, these images have a hidden virtue, that of opening windows between the real world and the imaginary world, and they invite us to undertake the most wonderful exploration, that of our own inner world."
The book will be carefully packaged and shipped with tracking.
