Le Crépuscule des masques

Rate this book
Michel Tournier est l'un des rares écrivains à s'être risqué à aligner des mots qui lui paraissaient dicter par l'image. Ce texte passionnant est écrit autour de vingt photographes, d'Émile Zola à Jacques-Henri Lartigue, qui sont le point de départ de réflexions, d'idées et d'anecdotes sur la photo et les photographes.

Una selección de fotógrafos extraordinarios (Man Ray, Bill Brandt, Jacques Lartigue, Denis Brihat, Arthur Tress, Jan Saudek, Dieter Appelt, entre otros), miradas surtidas cual caja de bombones. Y la conversa alada de Tournier, que amén de sus lides de ensayista (y sin la pedantería del crítico sofisticado) hace las veces de anecdotero, fotografiado, cómplice, testigo, admirador...

Eso -en una síntesis apretada, afectiva- es este libro. Ratos felices y una nalgada para ir por más imágenes.
