Description

This black and white photograph intensely captures the piercing gaze of an elderly individual, highlighted by tight framing and masterful lighting. The focus is on the right eye, whose depth and intensity seem to tell a story of a life rich in experience and wisdom. The striking contrast between the deep wrinkles and the elegant white hat creates a juxtaposition of age and grace. The skin's texture, rendered with almost tactile precision, reinforces the subject's humanity. Every detail, from the subtle shadow on the face to the line of the hat, contributes to an atmosphere that is both intimate and mysterious. This photograph is not simply a portrait, but an exploration of the human soul, immortalizing an expression of vulnerability and strength.

André Villers, Brassaï
France  • 1930

Presentation

Photographer and plastic artist born in 1930 near Belfort and died in 2016 in the Var, André Villers started photography in 1952 thanks to Pierre Astoux, a teacher, during his stay at the Vallauris sanatorium following bone tuberculosis. It was in 1953 that he met Pablo Picasso who gave him his first camera. Following this meeting, André Villers produced many portraits of Picasso but also a joint work. He produced portraits of artists such as: Alexander Calder, Pierre Soulages, Salvador Dali, César, Tapies ... In 1970, he began to experiment with other techniques for his photographs such as the creation of his negatives from layers, cutting. The collections of his works are in the Nicéphore-Niépce Museum.
