198362275s. l.: Par l'auteur 1983. Fine. Par l'auteur s. l. 1983 22 x 22 cm une feuille Large original black and white photographic portrait by Marc Trivier. Original unsigned gelatin silver print like most of Trivier's works. A precious original gelatin silver print by the celebrated Belgian photographer one of the most secretive contemporary artists who despite early international success preferred to limit his production to preserve the coherence of his work. Marc Trivier does not print new copies of his old portraits and the printing paper he used is no longer commercially available. The artist ""produces his own prints on Ilford baryta paper devoting several days of work to each one with particular concentration on rendering the whites in contrast with blacks of rare density. A print by Marc Trivier resembles no other. When he agrees to exhibit them he suspends them in stainless steel frames of his own making giving free rein to the life of the paper."" Xavier-Gilles ""Marc Trivier et la tragédie de la lumière"" ""Marc Trivier and the tragedy of light"" in Le Monde Libertaire 2011. This ""life of the paper"" ""vie du papier"" participates in the work just as much as the various alterations that photographs undergo when they are exhibited: ""Dans les boites les tirages gondolent mais qu'importe : le photographe affectionne ce genre d'accident."" ""In the boxes the prints warp but no matter: the photographer is fond of this kind of accident."" Claire Guillot ""Les face à face sans échappatoire du photographe Marc Trivier"" ""The inescapable face-to-face encounters of photographer Marc Trivier"" Le Monde 2011. Marc Trivier has a particular sensitivity for the material aspect of his productions. While photography is essentially about multiples this intervention by the artist in the entire creative process confers an autographic aura to these prints. Photographs of artists madmen trees or slaughterhouses Marc Trivier approaches all these subjects with a gaze as precise as it is intense. ""Dans sa cosmogonie chaque chose chaque être végétal animal ou humain mérite le même respect. Car tous sont confrontés à la même loi d'airain : la solitude."" ""In his cosmogony each thing each being plant animal or human deserves the same respect. For all are confronted with the same iron law: solitude."" Luc Desbenoit. The beauty that emanates from his photos comes from this nakedness. There is neither retouching nor cropping. We find in his work the same square format emphasized by the square of the negative that Trivier leaves on his prints. This frame traps our gaze in photographs where the artifice of color is rejected for an incisive black and white. With all artificiality having disappeared we do not face the staging of a subject but a presence exacerbated by radiating and singular light witness to an instant of life and not of pose. It is this light linked to the photographic medium that unites Marc Trivier's series: ""Les photographies de Marc Trivier écrivent une tragédie de la lumière celle-ci n'accueillant les êtres - hommes arbres ou bêtes - qu'en les brûlant avant disparition."" ""Marc Trivier's photographs write a tragedy of light welcoming beings - men trees or beasts - only by burning them before disappearing."" Xavier-Gilles in Le Monde Libertaire. It is also this light freed from all artifices that gives his works the aura that makes them so present. This ""burning"" ""brûlure"" of light brings us back to a real instant to Barthes' ""that-has-been"" ""ça a été"" La Chambre Claire 1980: ""De trente-cinq ans de pratique photographique d'obsessions c'est peut-être ça qui reste : un mode d'enregistrement singulier de la brûlure de la lumière décliné d'une image à l'autre en une succession de propositions qui se ressemblent et pourtant chacune est aussi singulière que la fraction de temps auquel elle renvoie."" ""From thirty-five years of photographic practice of obsessions this is perhaps what remains Par l'auteur unknown

Robeson was a contemporary of Coward's and had great success in England after his 1928 performance in Show Boat where he established the definitive version of "Old Man River." Paul and his wife Essie first met Coward in 1926 probably introduced by their mutual friend Rebecca West. Essie's diaries reveal that she saw Coward a great deal during the winter of 1930-31 when he was the recipient of her woes about her marital difficulties with Robeson. "His attentions were evident from a letter Robeson wrote to Essie in January 1931: 'I had a talk with NC. We talked frankly as he said he knew all the facts. He was noncommittal and rightly so. After all his business with you is your concern not mine.' Robeson's biographer. Martin Duberman found 'no evidence of a sexual affair. Nonetheless the oblique reference in Paul Robeson's letter leaves the matter in doubt.'
