"If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.' - Ernest Hemingway
Celebrated photographer, I.C. Rapoport, was one of those lucky young men. What makes that terrific news for us is that he brought along a camera.
On Saturday, May 31st, 2008, Parisians will have the great pleasure of discovering a selection of these exceptional images when his exhibit “Paris est une Fête” opens at the Galerie Simoun.
Capturing a myriad of beautiful moments, both grand and personal, Rapoport’s show plunges us back into Paris of the 1960’s and 70’s.
I.C. Rapoport’s photography reminds us of how crucial photojournalism was during a century of immeasurable change and uncertainty. Rapoport’s lens has captured the anxiety, the expectation and most importantly, the beauty of his generation’s relationship with the photograph. There is a frankness to photojournalism that seems fresh and unadulterated – these images are incredibly intimate. Rapoport represents one of the last voices from his era. His work stands as a testament to an honesty that we recognize, in an era of digital alteration, as becoming increasingly important and increasingly rare.
Mr. Rapoport, traveling from the United States for this event, will be giving a talk at 4pm, prior to the opening on May 31st. He will share vivid stories about his experiences in 1960’s Paris. This rare encounter with Mr. Rapoport, coupled with the opportunity to view his iconic photographs in a Parisian setting, assures that you will remember the experience for a long time to come… proving once again, that Paris is indeed, ‘a moveable feast.’

Le 24 mars 1976, le peuple argentin subit un coup d’état militaire. C’est le début d’une ère de répression sanglante, où quelque 30 000 personnes disparaissent et près de 500 bébés sont volés. Mais s’ouvre également une période d’ultralibéralisme d&ea...

Du dépouillement des clichés de Catherine Lambermont se dégage une poésie narrative. Ses images composent une suite d’instants d’observation libre. Son travail réhabilite le continuum qui caractérise chaque frontière. La frontière est le lieu du lien. Entre le corps et l’es...
Eric Rondepierre a choisi de montrer au sein d'un travail multiforme, certaines des oeuvres qui ont partie liée au cinéma, depuis ses débuts en 1992. Sur un parcours de vingt ans, 56 pièces ont été prélevées dans dix séries : Excédents, Annonces, Précis...
Simone Nieweg is a photographer of gardens and landscapes. Her work, as it has manifested itself over the past thirty years, knows no other interest. At the same time, a certain serenity hovers over her pictures. In them, nature seems entirely focused on itself. One immediately notices that human beings are absent. The allure of colors and shapes...
« Je ne peux m’empêcher, atteste Gérard Uféras, d’associer la pratique de l’Art à la notion d’amour et de partage ». (extrait de son livre Etats de grâce, éditions du Fantom)
«Egyptian pack» evokes many associations - here are both Petersburgers favorite topic of werewolves (see the movie of E. Yufit «Corpsmen werewolves») and references to the Perm animal style.
Also we can recall British film «The Wicker Man» (1973) with its ritual procession of the man-beasts, ho...
