Michel GINIES (1952) - Lot 189

Michel GINIES (1952) Mike Jagger rue des Beaux arts, 1975 Silver print On the back, artist's stamp and copyright, titled, dated and numbered 4/25 Dimensions: 30 x 40 cm Note: Michel Giniès captures Mick Jagger in a moment of transition, seized in the street, far from the stage. The image plays on this tension between icon and anonymity: the recognizable singer seems absorbed, almost discreet, gliding through the Parisian scenery. The man-height framing and slight blurring of movement reinforce the impression of spontaneity, akin to reportage photography. The suitcase, held in his hand, evokes the musician's itinerant life and travels, while the sober architecture in the background anchors the scene in a mundane everyday life. In this way, Giniès reveals a mythical figure in a simple, almost fragile moment, where celebrity fades into the background in favor of a fleeting, human presence.
