Jean Marquis, Surveyor of the everyday
Photographs 1951-1983

In 1951, Robert Capa advised Jean Marquis (1926–2019) to turn to photography. He then surveyed the everyday: from Montmartre to the fields, from factories to haymaking, from Liverpool to Budapest. A master of framing, he bore witness to history and to social struggles. He also captured prominent figures of French political and cultural life. His photo stories, published in L'Express, Time, and Life, attest to his sensitivity.
this exhibition presents 109 numbered prints, each in a limited edition of 30.
