YUL BRYNNER AND HIS NIKON… - Lot 269
YUL BRYNNER AND HIS NIKON… The actor-photographer with Francine Weisweiller in Arles, 1960. Photograph, vintage silver print, stamped (including date) and annotated on the back. 24 x 18.2 cm, including white border (on the side) Note: This photograph, taken in Arles in 1960, shows Yul Brynner with Francine Weisweiller, as the actor holds his Nikon camera. World-famous for his roles in *The King and I*, *The Magnificent Seven*, and *The King and I*, Yul Brynner also nurtured a genuine passion for photography, which he pursued throughout his life with dedication and talent. His Nikon rarely left his side during his travels and encounters, allowing him to build a substantial collection of photographs now recognized for their documentary value. The presence of Francine Weisweiller—a patron of the arts, collector, and close friend of many 20th-century artistic figures—situates this image within the particularly vibrant cultural scene of the French Riviera and southern France. This vintage print thus offers a fascinating glimpse into a lesser-known facet of Yul Brynner, at the intersection of cinema, photography, and the international art scene of the 1960s.
