Michel Leiris, French writer, husband of Louise Leiris (Galerie Louise Leiris). Paris 1983.
In a formal, full-length portrait taken in Paris in 1983, the French writer Michel Leiris sits in a dark wooden chair, looking directly at the camera with a serious expression. Dressed in a suit and a patterned tie, he is positioned in a study, one hand resting on the chair’s arm and the other on an adjacent desk. Dramatic lighting from the right illuminates one side of his face and figure, casting the left into deep shadow against a paneled door.
