LETTER FROM PARIS: Photos, Food, Tear Gas and All That Jazz
“Photography is a lightning-acute gesture that captures an astonishing moment for all eternity.” – Henri Cartier-Bresson
PARIS—This burgh’s long romance with the art of photography keeps growing and growing and growing. As I’ve noted before, not only are there three museums dedicated to it, but exceptional shows abound. The first we caught was a large exhibit of the legendary Cartier-Bresson’s works at the Maison Europenee de la Photographie increased by a revelatory showing at a nearby library of the earliest color photography—dating back to the latter 19th Century.
Who knew color pix went back that far? But there it was—a deal with called “photochrome,” similar to color lithography, that produced vivid scenes with an almost give up-painted look. Photos taken at all points on the globe were shown, including many knockout nature shots.
Another show called “Controversies” featured several hundred memorable photos that caused some level of controversy, either for their subject matter or their backstory—or in some cases because the persons depicted were moot, i.e., Oscar Wilde. The stunner for me was a shot of Adolph Hitler lying dead, a black dot on his forehead from the bullet that finished him off after he poisoned himself. Others loved the damp full-frontal of Brooke Shield in her nymphet years.
Those were only a small part of one of the richest, widest ranging art seasons in recollection, blessed with mostly great weather and sunshine giving Paris the glow of a girl in the throes of first love. Among several intimate expositions was one devoted to my own first love, jazz, and its symbiotic relationship with the graphic arts—of which more later.
Spring is also the age of the Paris Fair, a multitiered event highlighted by yet another passionate love, the food and wine pavilion. Hello foie gras and oodles of regional dishes!
