François Le Diascorn (né en 1947)

Voitures devant mur 1973 Vintage silver photograph on paper mounted on cardboard and stamped by the photographer on the back 16 x 23 cm Provenance: > Galerie Baudoin Lebon, Paris (label on back) > Collection of Monsieur A., Nice Condition report: Framed François Le Diascorn is a French photographer, close to the humanist movement, whose photographs seek to capture the unreality of appearances, and who has developed a poetic vision of the world through offbeat images, in which dreams sometimes rub shoulders with reality. François Le Diascorn's rigorously composed images result from a passionate need to create that has nothing to do with fashion, success or money. He continues, like the gypsy parents he imagined, to cross the earth, backpacking, sleeping in a tent or in the back of his car and photographing everything he encounters on the road, but with a predilection for certain subjects: magical animals, beasts of the sea, Buddhas and Christs, angels and demons, hospitals and carnivals, human-like trees and tree-like men, children and clouds, crushed animals, monks and shepherds, as well as his fetish cities or countries. It is through his third eye - the lens of his camera - that François Le Diascorn tries to understand the whys and wherefores of existence, especially his own, by capturing and showing the beauty and strangeness of the world. --- François Le Diascorn is a French photographer who is close to the humanist movement.
