Gérard FOUQUET (20th) - Lot 95

Gérard FOUQUET (20th) Christine Ockrent, 1985 Print autographed by Ockrent On back, copyright Dimensions: 31 x 23, 5 cm Note: This 1985 print perfectly illustrates the way Gérard Fouquet captured the intensity and concentration of his models, often caught in a moment of pause or reflection. The precise use of black and white lends the image a sober, direct force, while the gesture and gaze give the scene an almost introspective dimension. The autograph in the margin reinforces the personal and unique character of the print. With his sense of journalistic and cultural portraiture, Fouquet offers here an image that is at once lively, elegant and fully rooted in the documentary aesthetic of its time.
