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

The French writer Michel Leiris, photographed in Paris in 1983. He stands formally in a dark suit and patterned tie, his hands clasped behind his back as he looks directly at the camera with a placid expression. He is positioned in a well-appointed room before a wooden cabinet, above which hangs a cubist-style portrait. A tall, stylized figural sculpture rests on the cabinet beside him.
