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

The French writer Michel Leiris, photographed in Paris in 1983. He stands formally dressed, looking directly at the camera with a serious expression. A strong light from a large French window illuminates him, casting the rest of the room into deep shadow. Taped to an upper pane is an abstract, cubist-style face. Behind Leiris, a tall bookshelf recedes into darkness, while through the window, a city scene is visible beyond a wrought-iron balcony. A glass ashtray sits on a small table in the foreground.
