FROM ONE DAY TO ANOTHER - Martine Franck
Balthus, Michel Leiris or Henri Cartier-Bresson, Marc Chagall with his mischievous look, Sam Szafran in his Montrouge studio, Paul Strand with a plate camera between his arms... These are just a few of the artists and intellectuals, sometimes accomplices, sometimes amused, often surprised or "carried away" in extremis, sketched by Martine Franck's lens. Personalities of the arts and letters who have left (and are still leaving) a work to be seen by a public also fixed by the photographer's eye. Visitors to the Prado in Madrid, or the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, captured in profile, fascinated or prostrate before the work of a master. Martine Franck has the art of playing with mise en abîme.
But alongside the artists and their audiences, portraits of boisterous children ready to step out of the frame, landscapes with geometric compositions, showbiz people always on the move, there's a chaotic world, humanitarian reports, images of misery, destitution, tragic drifts, still others on the sad universe of the elderly, at the very end of old age, destitute. From one day to the next brings together a visual selection chosen by the artist, reflecting his inexhaustible themes.
