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

French writer Michel Leiris, photographed in his Paris study in 1983. He stands beside a tall French window, the primary source of light in this high-contrast portrait. With his right hand resting on a stack of books, he looks toward the camera with a somber expression. The light illuminates one side of his face, leaving the other, and a bookshelf behind him, in deep shadow. Taped to the windowpane is a small, cubist-style drawing of a face.
