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

French writer Michel Leiris, photographed in Paris in 1983. Dressed in a dark suit and patterned tie, he stands formally with his hands behind his back, looking directly at the camera with a serious expression. He is positioned before a tall wooden cabinet, above which hangs a cubist-style portrait. A slender, tribal-style sculpture rests on the cabinet to the left of the painting.
