ABOUT THE IMAGE Île Saint-Louis, eleven hectares (27 acres) in size, is one of two natural islands in the Seine River in Paris, France (the other natural island is the Île de la Cité, where Notre-Dame de Paris is located). Île Saint-Louis is connected to the rest of Paris by four bridges to both banks of the river and to the Île de la Cité by the Pont Saint-Louis. The island is located within the 4th arrondissement of Paris and has a population of 4,453. 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). Duval’s photographic work appeared in numerous group exhibitions and museum shows, including: – International Exhibition of Contemporary Photography organized by the Museum of Decorative Arts at the Marsan Pavilion, Louvre Museum, Paris, December 1935 - January 1936. – Photography, 1839-1937, Museum of Modern Art, New York, March-April 1937. – New Photography in France, 1919-1939, Sainte-Croix Museum, Poitiers, 1986. – Assia, Sublime Model, traveling exhibition: Despiau-Wlérick Museum, Mont-de-Marsan, November 1993 - January 1994; Calais Museum of Fine Arts, January-March 1994; Sainte-Croix Museum, Poitiers, April - June 1884; Evreux Museum, 1995. – Photography Put to the Test, Museum of Modern Art of Saint-Étienne and Institute of Contemporary Art of Villeurbanne, February - April 2005. – The Photographers of Matisse, Matisse Museum of Nice, October 2008 - January 2009. – Paris, Photographic Capital, 1920-1940 - The Christian Bouqueret Collection, Jeu de Paume, February-May 2009. – Mouvances - The Tribulations of Photography in the Art World from 1888 to the Present Day, Auer Photo Foundation, Geneva, October - November 2012. – Paris - Photographic Modernities, 1920-1950: The Bouqueret Collection, Center Georges-Pompidou, Paris, November 1012 - January 2013. – Paris and Its Surroundings - Eugène Atget, Édouard Baldus, Brassaï, Louis-Émile Durandelle, Rémy Duval, Robert Koch Gallery, San Francisco, June - September, 2014.
