Description from the seller
Saint-Jacques
Images of the Saint-Jacques district in the center of the city of Perpignan where a large Gypsy community lives. Perpignan, March 1980
People, Life, Work by Georges Bartoli
Georges Bartoli offers us here some glimpses of a life spent observing the world.
He approached people, attracted by their gestures, their professions, and the way they live their daily lives.
Moments of humanity captured in their apparent banality, similar across eras and geographies.
The author
Originally from Matemale, in the Catalan Pyrenees, Georges Bartoli divides his time between his hometown and the fields of the world where women and men work, struggle, or try to rebuild their lives.
After several years in regional press (Midi Libre, L’Indépendant), he turned to social photojournalism, in France and abroad. He collaborated with L’Humanité, AFP, REA, then with Reuters and Maxppp, before becoming completely independent.
His work mainly focuses on social struggles, the world of work, alter-globalization, peasantry, as well as territories like Palestine or Venezuela.
