Harry Gruyaert by Antoine Ricardou
We were honored to meet Harry Gruyaert at the exhibition for the first four Portraits de Villes at Galerie Philippe Chaume. Imagine our surprise when he asked to do a Portraits de Villes and be a part of the collection. After a little thought, he decided to go back to Moscow, a city he had visited ten years previously, to create a Muscovite diptych, a decade apart.
YEAR OF BIRTH 1941 PLACE OF BIRTH Mortsel, Belgium PROFESSION Photographer FAVORITE MEDIUM Photography, cinema, painting
Portraits de Villes is a collection of books, where an artist is given carte blanche to illustrate a city of his / her choice. Each book is a unique journey, guided by the singular gaze of an artist.
