Man Ray

portraits : Paris, Hollywood, Paris

By: Quentin Bajac,Man Ray,Clément Chéroux

Picasso, Duchamp, Cocteau, mais aussi Hemingway, Joyce ou Chanel: Man Ray les a tous photographiés. En 1921, lorsqu'il arrive à Paris, l'artiste américain devient portraitiste, pour gagner sa vie. Dans son studio de Montparnasse, il photographie autant ses amis dadaïstes et surréalistes que les Américains de Paris ou les personnalités de la mode, du spectacle et du cinéma. En 1940, l'invasion allemande l'oblige à retourner aux Etats-Unis. Installé à Hollywood, il photographie l'intelligentsia européenne qui s'y est réfugiée, les acteurs et les producteurs américains : Thomas Mann, Jean Renoir, Paulette Goddard ou Ava Gardner. De retour à Paris en 1951, c'est désormais en couleurs qu'il fixe l'image des vedettes du moment: Yves Montand, Juliette Gréco ou Line Renaud. Sans équivalent pour la période, cette extraordinaire archive dessine le visage d'une époque. Elle prend place aux côtés des autres grandes collections de portraits de la vie culturelle française, celles d'un Nadar pour la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, ou du studio Harcourt pour l'après-guerre. En 1994 et 1995, le Centre Pompidou-Musée national d'art moderne recevait en dation et donation 12 304 négatifs provenant de l'atelier de Man Ray. Cette collection unique au monde est aux deux tiers constituée de portraits. Ce n'est qu'après un long travail d'inventaire, d'identification et de numérisation qu'il a été possible de mesurer l'importance historique et documentaire de ce fonds. Le présent ouvrage vient parachever ce processus. Avec près de 500 négatifs reproduits en positif, des notices biographiques recontextualisant les personnes représentées, deux essais de Quentin Bajac et Clément Chéroux, ainsi que des textes de Man Ray lui-même expliquant sa façon de travailler, ce livre souhaite faire découvrir à un large public cette étonnante collection de visages. Il a aussi pour ambition de redonner à Man Ray la place qu'il mérite dans l'art du portrait au XXe siècle.

Stephen Shore

By: Quentin Bajac

One of the most influential photographers of our time, Stephen Shore has often been categorized as one of a group of artists of the 1970s who captured American popular culture in straightforward, unglamorous color images. While this is true, it is only part of the story: Shore has worked with many forms of photography, switching from cheap automatic cameras to large format in the 1970s, pioneering the use of color film before returning to black and white in the 1990s, and, in the 2000s, taking up the opportunities offered by digital photography, digital printing and social media. Published to accompany the first comprehensive survey of Stephen Shore's work in the US, this catalog reflects the full range of his contribution, including the gelatin silver prints he made as a teenager (and sold to The Museum of Modern Art); his photographs of the scene at Andy Warhol's Factory, in New York; the color images he made during cross-country road trips in the 1970s; his recent explorations of Israel, the West Bank and Ukraine; and his current work on digital platforms, including Instagram.
