Pascal BARIL (1963) - Lot 51

Pascal BARIL (1963) Marie Trintignant, 1987 Studio photo shoot, Paris Vintage print On verso: copyright and author's signature Dimensions: 23.5 x 30 cm Note: In this studio portrait taken in 1987, Pascal Baril creates an image of great graphic intensity, where attitude, costume and light contribute to an almost cinematic aesthetic. The choice of black and white emphasizes the precision of the features, the stylized gestures and the deliberately theatrical mood of the pose. Here, Baril succeeds in creating a figure that is both modern and timeless, playing on the codes of mystery, elegance and staging. This period print bears witness to his acute sense of framing and his taste for portraits that tell as much as they reveal.
