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

French writer Michel Leiris, husband of gallerist Louise Leiris, is pictured in Paris, 1983. In this grainy, black-and-white portrait, he is seated before a wooden chest of drawers, wearing a dark suit and a checkered tie. He looks toward the camera with a gentle expression, positioned between a tall, stylized sculpture reminiscent of African art and a framed, cubist-style painting of a mask-like figure on the wall behind him.
