Mireille Vautier and Roland Dufau - New York, Twin Towers and Religious Silhouette - Cibachrome Ilfochrome Classic Fine Art Print 30x40 cm
Description (French):
Original vintage print from around 1980 on Cibachrome Ilfochrome Classic paper by master printmaker Roland Dufau, from the photographer and journalist Mireille Vautier's personal archives.
This masterful low-angle work captures the iconic World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York, while a church steeple silhouette appears in shadow as a negative. The precision of the architectural lines, the deep saturation of blacks, and the striking contrast testify to the exceptional mastery of the Cibachrome process starting from color positives.
