Description from the seller
Alain Delon
The French actor at the Cannes Film Festival, 2019
Silver gelatin print on postcard stock, signed and captioned on the back by the photographer “Pascal Baril”
Photograph: 40 x 50 cm
Pascal Baril’s Celebrity Portraits in Cannes
For more than forty years, Pascal Baril has been behind the scenes at the Cannes Film Festival. His eye as a photojournalist allows him to capture far more than the sheer glamour of the red carpet. Behind the glitz and spotlights, he reveals moments of grace, emotion and truth.
Actors, directors, singers and personalities from the arts 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 imagination of contemporary cinema.
Taken in black and white or in color, depending on the period, these photographs now form a vivid record of the Cannes Film Festival and its icons. Bridging press photography and the authorial portrait, Pascal Baril offers us an elegant, humanist and timeless perspective on the celebrities of his era.
This series would be perfectly at home in a summer exhibition at the Atelier/Galerie Taylor devoted to “Cannes Icons”.
