ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Rémy Duval (1907-1984) was a highly-regarded French photographer, author of critical essays on photography, printmaker, and painter.
Duval became a member of the French Society of Photography in 1927, where he encouraged a resonance with the lyricism of the ‘accidents’ of overexposure, blur, and reflection, aligning himself with the avant-garde photographers of the early 20th Century. Esteemed creative researcher Julia Elchinger places Duval in the wake of Eugène Atget and his photos of Parisian storefronts "with showcases voluntarily shimmering with reflections" (1900-1927), and André Breton, who also, in his own way, praises reflection by writing in 1932 that "bringing together in a striking way" two objects as far apart as possible constitutes "the highest task to which poetry can claim".
A friend of Louis-Victor Emmanuel Sougez and Brassaï, Duval worked in fashion photography concurrent with being a photographic critic at Arts et Métiers Graphiques and at Photo-Ciné-Graphique from the 1930s. He was also a set photographer in the 1940s for directors Claude Autant-Lara, Marcel Carné, and Robert Bresson. He joined the 'New Vision' movement whose style, supported by a new generation of more manageable cameras, favored greater freedom, adopting a style of innovative image framing and perspective.
Duval’s work included nudes, still lifes, landscapes and city scenes, and portraits, including sitters Georges Braque (1947), Marc Chagall, Juliette Gréco, Henri Matisse (1950), François Mitterrand (1947), Geer Van Velde, Jacques Villon, Madeleine Vionnet (1932).
