ANDRÉ VILLERS (1930-2016)
Jacques Prévert and Picasso, Cannes. Silver print, the image measuring 396.9x298.5 mm; 15 5/8x11 3/4 inches, with Villers' credit hand stamp, on verso. 1960; printed 1980s.
Villers first began photographing in 1952, when he received a camera as a therapy tool after recovering from tuberculosis. A chance meeting with Pablo Picasso on a Vallauris street in 1953 formed a strong friendship and collaboration between the two artists. Villers photographed Picasso frequently, and the two created a renewed life around Cubism, experimenting with the camera's role in the artist movement.
