Walter CARONE (1920 - 1982) Cesar at the Roquefort market (06) Silver RC press print 20 x 30 cm Note: Press photograph by Walter Carone, depicting the sculptor Cesar in an informal setting, at the market in Roquefort (Alpes-Maritimes). This image offers a singular look at the artist outside his studio, in a moment of everyday life. A major figure of the Nouveau Réalisme movement, César is known for his compressions and expansions, emblematic works of twentieth-century sculpture. This type of photography helps to document the personality and environment of artists beyond their artistic production. Resin-coated (RC) prints, characteristic of press photography from the 1970s onwards, were favored for their speed of production and media distribution. This type of print is an archival document of iconographic and documentary interest for the history of contemporary art.
