GÉRARD TRAUANDI, PHOTOGRAPHE
Author: Gérard Traquandi
Publisher: Éditions Marval / Rue Visconti
Winner of the Grand Prix of the Académie des Beaux-Arts and a major figure in the French contemporary scene, Gérard Traquandi is above all celebrated for his vibrant and sensual pictorial work. However, in the shadow of painting, darkroom work occupies a central place in his aesthetic approach.
This beautiful artist's book highlights resinotype, a unique photographic practice, exploring its resonances with material and motif. In an erudite dialogue with Anne Cartier-Bresson (a leading specialist in photographic restoration), Traquandi opens up about his quest for pure sensation, his relationship with historical prints (bichromated gum, resinotype), and the alchemy of the image.
The book, in its 'Tirage de tête' format, is a true collector's item, made exceptional by the inclusion of an original photograph by the artist. An indispensable work for enthusiasts of 'Foto Povera', alternative silver printing, and the painter's oeuvre.
