Lot 50 - Willy Ronis (1910-2009) - Paris (Notre-Dame la nuit) 1934 Vintage silver photograph on paper signed and dated on the back 38.5 x 28.5 cm Provenance: > Galerie Baudoin Lebon, Paris (label on back) > Collection of Monsieur A., Nice Condition report: Framed Qui a vu Paris, verra... "Paris is in everyone's mouth, and from one end of the world to the other, is the sesame par excellence to pleasure and freedom, the one magically introduced to the mythical city, the city of dreams. Wherever you are in the world, you simply have to say its name, and faces open up, eyes shine and tongues are loosened. And then it's off to the big postcard game, with postcards falling from the sky in the blink of an eye: the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame and the Sacré-Coeur, the Champs-Elysées, the Ile Saint-Louis and its gallant greenery, the Louvre, Les Halles, the banks of the Seine, its strollers and booksellers, the Latin Quarter, Montmartre and its painters, a Paris of a thousand and one nights, a Paris of lovers and photo novels, a gavroche Paris, a Paris that always laughs. [...]. There's another side, more familiar to residents than tourists, and that's the Paris of everyday life, the Paris of yesterday and today, the Paris of kings and commoners. It's a Paris that complains during the week and smiles when it's over, as long as the skies are clear and the sun shines down on the streets, clinging to domes and statues and making the shop windows glisten with dreams." Guy Goffrette --- Who has seen Paris, will see... Paris is on everyone's lips, from one end of the world to the other, and is the sesame par excellence to pleasure and freedom, the magical gateway to the mythical city, the city of dreams. Wherever you are in the world, all you have to do is mention its name and faces open up, eyes start to sparkle and tongues start to wag. And then it's off to the big postcard game, with postcards falling out of the sky in the blink of an eye: The Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame and the Sacré-Coeur, the Champs-Elysées, Ile Saint-Louis and its gallant greenery, the Louvre, Les Halles, the banks of the Seine, its strollers and second-hand booksellers, the Latin Quarter, Montmartre and its painters, a Paris of a thousand and one nights, a Paris of lovers and photo-novels, a gavroche Paris, a Paris that always laughs. [...]. There is another side, more familiar to residents than tourists, and that is the Paris of everyday life, the Paris of yesterday and today, the Paris of kings and commoners. An angry Paris that protests, a Paris of traffic jams and the Court of Miracles, of traffic jams and the destitute. In short, a Paris that complains during the week and smiles when it's over, as long as the skies are clear and the sun shines down on the streets, clinging to the domes and statues and making the shop windows glisten with dreams.

Lot 81 - 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.
