CONTREJOUR, UNE AVENTURE EDITORIALE - Jean-Marc Le Scouarnec
When Roquette Rockers (Ken Pate) appeared in 1975, it paved the way for twenty years of publishing by Contrejour. But above all, it embodied the artistic agitation of a whole generation of young photographers, gallery owners and publishers, among whom Claude Nori was the leader. First the Parisian gallery, then the magazine and publishing house of the same name crystallized a set of modernist aspirations that would culminate in a catalog of graphically audacious books, tracing crossroads between generations, territories and styles (Sabine Weiss, Bernard Plossu, William Klein, Pierre & Gilles, Mario Giacomelli, Edouard Boubat, Anders Petersen, Jeanloup Sieff). Jean-Marc Le Scouarnec takes these paths once again and, beyond the artistic and friendly anecdotes, formulates particularly well-documented photographic, graphic and technical analyses that bear witness to the major role played by Contrejour in the history of photography and publishing.
