Extraordinary collection of Maurice Blanchot's original photographs taken in the family setting, the only printings
C. 1907-2003 | 272 photographs | various format
“Blanchot challenged photographers and caricaturists of the literary press for a long-time. His 'portraits', over so many years, are minimalist and rare: in 1962 in L'Express, a hand holds up a book, at the bottom of the page; in 1979, in Libération, a blank square is in the middle of the page, with only Maurice Blanchot's name and a quote from the Entretien infini as a caption: ‘an empty universe: nothing that was visible, nothing that was invisible'” (C.

« Blanchot long defied photographers and caricaturists of the literary press.

Large original photograph portrait in black and white, made and printed by Marc Trivier. Unsigned silver print, as most of Trivier's works. Unique print from the artist. Small stain on the upper margin.
Artists, madmen, abattoirs, trees – Marc Trivier photographed each of his subjects with the same interrogative intensity. All his photographs are in the same square format, simple and confined, with no retouching or alteration of the framing, and seem less to show off a subject – famous or unknown, in or out of power, dead or alive
