Jean Dieuzaide

Born 1921, he lives in Toulouse, France.

 

We no longer need to introduce this passionate man who has done so much for photography in France and in Toulouse with the Château d'Eau exhibitions. For him, beauty rhymes with authenticity and simplicity. This absolute truth is expressed in the serie of portraits taken in Europe in the 1950s and 1970s that he is exhibiting in Cahors.

 

Olivier Meriel

Born 1955.

 

For this photographer, it is a real mystique of the landscape that allows him to capture moments of grace where everything is in harmony, where contemplation is sublimated by a presence, an "anima" that lives beyond the landscape, and which shines through through a subtle work of printing and turning, and through the choice of infinitely rich paper.
