Michel Leiris, French writer, husband of Louise Leiris (Galérie Louise Leiris). Paris 1983

The French writer Michel Leiris, photographed in Paris in 1983, stands formally in a well-appointed room. Dressed in a dark suit and patterned tie, he looks directly at the camera with a calm expression, his hands held behind his back. To his right, a tall sculpture resembling an African totem rests on a wooden commode, with a framed cubist painting depicting a mask-like figure hanging on the wall above.
