Michel Leiris, French Writer, husband Of Louise Leiris (Galérie Louise Leiris). Paris 1983

The French writer Michel Leiris is captured in a formal portrait in Paris in 1983. Seated on a dark sofa, he looks directly at the camera with a serious, intense gaze. Dressed in a dark suit and a patterned tie, his aged, veined hands rest on the arms of the sofa. Behind him hangs a large Cubist painting depicting a fragmented interior scene. Strong side lighting creates a high-contrast image with deep shadows, accentuating his features and the noticeable grain of the film.
