Description from the seller
Vanessa Paradis
The French singer and actress at the Cannes Film Festival, 2018
Silver gelatin print on postcard paper, signed and captioned by the photographer “Pascal Baril” on the back
Photograph: 40 x 50 cm
Pascal Baril’s People Portraits at Cannes
For more than forty years, Pascal Baril has been frequenting the backstage areas of the Cannes Film Festival. His eye as a photojournalist lets him capture much more than the gloss of the red carpet. Behind the glamour and the spotlights, he reveals moments of grace, emotion and truth.
Actors, directors, singers and personalities from the artistic world parade before his lens. From Madonna to Marion Cotillard, from Isabelle Adjani to Penélope Cruz, his portraits bear witness to a rare proximity to those who shape the cinema’s contemporary imagination.
Shot in black and white or in color depending on the era, these photographs today form a sensitive memory of the Cannes Film Festival and its icons. Between press photography and author portrait, Pascal Baril offers us a view that is at once elegant, humane and timeless of the celebrities of his time.
This series would perfectly find its place in a summer exhibition at Atelier/Galerie Taylor dedicated to the “Icons of Cannes.”
