The Light of ParisBY Jean-Michel Berts ISBN: 9782843238819 Hardcover, Jacket / 10.25 x 13.33" 128 Pages, 70 Images As King Francois I once said, "Paris is not a city, it's a world." Long after the swarming crowd has deserted it, after the hum and buzz of traffic has subsided, Paris still resonates with a discreet life of its own. Working before sunrise and after sundown, photographer Jean-Michel Berts has created these dream-like black-and-white images, including Montmartre and the banks of the Seine. Following the Grands Boulevards and the footprints of Baudelaire, Brassa•, and Huysmans, the deserted streets of Paris take on a poetic, ethereal quality. Featuring beautiful text by the French novelist Pierre Assouline, this book is a moving homage to the city of lights. Each print is given ample breathing space in this volume, whose opulent trim size befits the spectacular quality of the shots. A photographer since age sixteen, Jean-Michel Berts has acquired an outstanding international reputation by showcasing his work at Art Brussel's Fair, London, Saint-Tropez, Berlin, and Hambourg. He has also done successful advertising campains for luxury brands such as Lancome, Dior, and Cacharel.
A writer and journalist, Pierre Assouline has published some twenty books. Editor-in-chief of Lire magazine for twenty years, he is now a columnist for Le Monde 2 and Le Nouvel Observateur.
