Exposition "Claude Picasso - Une vie en marges"

His images reveal a sensitive perspective on his contemporaries—whether famous artists or anonymous passersby—and on the landscapes he loved to discover during his travels, allowing us to share in his idealized vision of the world and his poetic take on reality. Claude Picasso was born in April 1947, shortly after his parents—the painters Pablo Picasso and Françoise Gilot—had spent time working at the Château Grimaldi in Antibes, which would soon become the Picasso Museum, during the previous fall. His childhood spent with two artists led him, too, into a world of creativity, and as a young man, he chose photography as his medium. He moved to New York in 1967 at the invitation of Richard Avedon and became the assistant to the great American photographer. A few months later, he opened his own studio in Manhattan and began a career as a professional photographer that would last several years, before other professional commitments or passions took over his life.
