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

French writer Michel Leiris, husband of gallerist Louise Leiris, is portrayed in Paris in 1983. He stands in a starkly side-lit composition, a large window illuminating one side of his face while casting the other in deep shadow. His expression is serious and contemplative as he looks toward the camera. On an upper window pane, a Cubist-style drawing of a face is visible, with a Parisian city scene seen through the glass below. The dark interior, with faint outlines of bookshelves, completes the intellectual atmosphere.
