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 his Paris study in 1983. Dressed in a suit and tie, he looks thoughtfully at the camera, his left hand resting on a worn wooden desk. He is illuminated by a large French window, which reveals an ornate balcony railing and has a piece of cubist-style art affixed to its upper pane. The bright light contrasts with the dark, book-lined shelves that recede into the right side of the room, creating an intimate atmosphere.
