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

French writer Michel Leiris, photographed in Paris in 1983. In this grainy, black-and-white portrait, he looks directly at the viewer, dressed in a dark suit and a geometrically patterned tie. Leiris is seated before a dark wooden sideboard, on which stand several sculptures, including a tall, totem-like carving. Behind him hangs a framed, Cubist-style painting of a stylized figure with a mask-like face.
