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

French writer Michel Leiris stands in profile in a dimly lit Parisian interior, 1983. With his hands tucked in his pockets, he gazes contemplatively out a large French window, behind which a tall shelf is filled with books. Taped to the upper windowpane, an abstract, Cubist-style drawing of a face looks back into the room. The soft light from the overcast day illuminates Leiris, creating a strong contrast with the shadows and lending the image a quiet, introspective atmosphere.
