When *Roquette Rockers*(Ken Pate) was published in 1975, it paved the way for twenty years of publishing at Contrejour. But it also, and above all, embodied the artistic ferment of an entire generation of young photographers, gallery owners, and publishers, among whom Claude Nori stood out as a leader. First the Parisian gallery, then the magazine and the publishing house of the same name crystallized a set of modernist aspirations that would culminate in a catalog of graphically daring books, charting unconventional paths across generations, territories, and styles (Sabine Weiss, Bernard Plossu, William Klein, Pierre & Gilles, Mario Giacomelli, Edouard Boubat, Anders Petersen, Jeanloup Sieff). Jean-Marc Le Scouarnec revisits these paths and, beyond artistic and personal anecdotes, offers particularly well-documented photographic, graphic, and technical analyses that attest to the major role played by Contrejour in the history of photography and publishing.
