Jean-Michel Voge
Africa, Morocco, Lace Curtains, Contemporary Photography

1980

About the Item

Lace curtains, Morocco, 1980 by Jean-Michel (JM) Voge, is a contemporary color photograph, an archival pigment print on handmade Awagami Japanese paper. Printed by the artist this is a 23.5" x 16.5" signed, titled, dated (verso) edition 1/5. The figure’s traditional bold-orange costume against his dark skin remains in sharp contrast with the alabaster lace curtains in the background. Looking directly into the camera with innocence, serenity and no fear of revealing himself, the subject’s face and smile resemble a buddha. The environmental portrait captures, however, the spirit and history of Marrakech. A study in contrasts, colors, and cultures, the man in a white turban and collar sits peacefully against a backdrop of tiles and lace. Provenance: JM Voge Archive *** Artist’s Bio: Jean-Michel (JM) Voge (b. 1949) is a fine art photographer, formerly editorial freelancer for magazines, such as Madame Figaro (1982-2010), Le Figaro Magazine, Point of View, Marie France, Town and Country, European Travel and LIFE, Fortune Magazine, and AD Spain. The French photographer published a critically-acclaimed monograph on portraits of Europeans, "Figures of Europe," which include portraits of influential Europeans through 1990. Among JM's personal projects, he photographed the Surma tribe in the Omo Valley in Ethiopia, Africa and the Sumo in Tokyo. JM travels for much of his material including extended trips to Greenland. *** Available exclusively at 99Prints NYC, an online art marketplace for today’s collector of contemporary art, works on paper, original and limited edition photography.
