Overview of the exhibition
Beginning in the 1880s, Léopold Mercier had a profitable business in Paris and Cabourg as a photographer and editor. He regularly published small advertising leaflets in which the long list of the works of painters and sculptors appearing in the studio catalogue was presented in alphabetical order. Léopold Mercier also worked in artists' studios, and covered the major art exhibitions & cultural events. Léopold Mercier works here as a portraitist, sometimes redesining directly on the glass plates, to reveal the sensuality and timeless beauty of these bodies made of stone.
