Description
Created in 1969 in Saint-Tropez, Juvénile reflects the most intimate period of Michel Pinel, marked by a minimalist approach to the female nude.
The model, photographed in a room bathed in soft light, embodies the spontaneity and fragility of youth. The composition, of great sobriety, highlights the geometry of the space and the silent presence of the subject, in an atmosphere imbued with restraint and melancholy. This baryte print, made by the artist himself, perfectly illustrates the precision and sensitivity characteristic of his silver-based work.
Condition
Excellent condition. A print of great freshness, without alteration or creases. Inscriptions and stamp perfectly clear on the back.
Provenance: Family collection of the photographer who passed away in 2022.
