Portrait of the French actor, Paris, 1987
Silver gelatin print on postcard paper, signed and titled by the photographer “Pascal Baril” on the back
Photograph: 50 x 40 cm
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 lets him capture far more than the mere sparkle of the red carpet. Behind the glamour and 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 testify to a rare closeness with those who shape the contemporary cinema’s imaginary.
Shot in black and white or in color depending on the era, these photographs today constitute a sensitive memory of the Cannes Film Festival and its icons. Between press photography and auteur portraiture, Pascal Baril offers us a view that is both elegant, humane and timeless on the celebrities of his time.
This series would perfectly find its place in a summer exhibition at the Atelier/Gallery Taylor dedicated to “Cannes Icons.”
