Period silver gelatin print
18 x 24
Pascal Baril’s People Portraits in Cannes
For more than forty years, Pascal Baril has frequented the backstage of the Cannes Film Festival. His photojournalist eye captures far more than the mere sparkle of the red carpet. Behind the glamour and the spotlights, he reveals moments of grace, emotion, and truth.
Actors, directors, singers, and figures from the artistic world pass before his lens. From Madonna to Marion Cotillard, from Isabelle Adjani to Penélope Cruz, his portraits bear witness to a rare closeness with those who shape the cinematic imagination of contemporary times.
Shot in black and white or in color depending on the era, these photographs today constitute a sensitive memory of the Cannes Festival and its icons. Between press photography and author portrait, Pascal Baril offers us a view that is elegant, humane, and timeless of the celebrities of his time.
This series would be perfectly at home in a summer exhibition by Atelier/Galerie Taylor devoted to the “Icons of Cannes.”
