Correspondance Jean Cocteau et Lucien Clergue

Signing at Librairie Lardanchet on Wednesday 19 November from 6.30pm to 8.30pm

"One evening, Lucien Clergue opened the folder in front of me where he keeps the correspondence that, from 1955 to 1963, marks the stages of his friendship with Jean Cocteau. I immediately saw that there were (the photographic language is compelling) snapshots of the utmost interest. Indeed, between the lines, we see how the career of a photographer who is now recognised throughout the world began and developed. But we also catch a glimpse of Cocteau off guard, in a generous and anxious familiarity." Hubert Nyssen
