Michel GINIES (1952) - Lot 182
Michel GINIES (1952) Avenue Daumesnil 1971 Silver print Signed in the margin Size : 40 x 30 cm Dimensions with passe partout : 50 x 40 cm Note: Michel Giniès captures here a simple yet quirky Parisian street scene. An elegant woman walks her dog past an industrial sign whose name - "Enfer et fils" - introduces an almost surreal note of irony. The contrast between the banality of the gesture and the graphic strength of the typographed facade structures the image. The composition plays on lines and words, transforming an ordinary moment into a striking image. In the 1970s, Giniès followed a tradition of revisited humanist photography, attentive to everyday details and visual coincidences that give the street a poetic and sometimes absurd dimension.
