198362310s. l.: Par l'auteur 1983. Fine. Par l'auteur s. l. 1983 22 x 22 cm une feuille FOUCAULT Michel Portrait of Michel Foucault. Original artist's photograph. Large original photographic portrait in black and white by Marc Trivier. Original unsigned silver print like most of Trivier's works. Small tear to upper edge. A handsome original silver print proof by the famous Belgian photographer one of the most secretive contemporary artists who - despite early international success - preferred to limit his output to preserve the coherence of his oeuvre. Marc Trivier doesn't do after-prints of his old portraits and in any case the paper he used for printing is no longer sold. The artist ""prints his images himself on Ilford baryta paper devoting several days of work to each. He pays special attention to rendering the whites contrasted with unusually dense blacks. A Marc Trivier print is like none other. When he does agree to exhibit his images he suspends them in self-made stainless steel frames giving the paper the freedom to live its life"" 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"" participates in the work in the same way as the various changes that the photographs undergo when they're exhibited: ""In the boxes the prints buckle but so what: it's the photographer who's giving rise to this sort of accident"" Claire Guillot ""Les face à face sans échappatoire du photographe Marc Trivier The inescapable encounters of the photographer Marc Trivier Le Monde 2011. Marc Trivier has a particular sensibility for the material aspect of his work. Though photography essentially relies on the multiple this intervention by the artist in the entire process of creation gives these prints an autobiographical air. Whether photographing artists mad people trees or abattoirs Marc Trivier approaches all his subjects with a gaze that is as precise as it is intense. ""In his cosmogony each thing each being whether plant animal or human deserves the same respect. Because all are confronted by the same cast-iron law: solitude"" Luc Desbenoit. The beauty that emanates from his photos comes from this nakedness. There is no retouching and no reframing. One finds throughout his oeuvre the same square format underlined by the squares of the negative that Trivier leaves on his images. This frame traps our gaze in the photographs where the artifice of color is rejected for a cutting black and white. All artificiality gone we are faced not with the arrangement of a subject but a presence exacerbated by the radiant and singular light testimony to a lived moment and not a pose. It is this light tied to the photographic medium that unites Marc Trivier's various series: ""Marc Trivier's photographs write a tragedy of light which does not welcome beings - humans trees or animals - but rather burns them before disappearance"" Xavier-Gilles in Le Monde Libertaire. It is also this tragedy of light freed of all artifice that gives his works the air that makes them so immediate. This ""burning"" of the light throws us back into a real moment to the ""that happened"" of Barthes Camera Lucida 1980: ""Of thirty-five years of photography of various obsessions perhaps this is what is left: a singular way of recording the burning of the light carried through one image after another in a succession of propositions that seem to resemble one another and yet each is just as singular as the fraction of the moment to which it refers"" Marc Trivier. ""Photography says only one thing: 'that happened.' You can only record what has been. If there is a tragedy to it it is in this"" Marc Trivier Warhol Foucault Beckett Dubuffet etc.: the most famous writers and artists posed for Trivier.

198162331s. l.: Par l'auteur 1981. Fine. Par l'auteur s. l. 1981 21.50 x 24 cm une feuille Set of 8 small-format portraits of Michel Foucault by Marc Trivier. Original unsigned silver print like most of Trivier's works. Precious original 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 make new prints of his old portraits; the printing paper he used is no longer commercially available. The artist ""makes 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 Marc Trivier print resembles no other. When he agrees to exhibit them he hangs them in stainless steel frames of his own making allowing free rein to the life of the paper."" Xavier-Gilles ""Marc Trivier et la tragédie de la lumière"" in Le Monde Libertaire 2011. This ""life of the paper"" participates in the work just as much as the various alterations that photographs undergo when exposed: ""In boxes the prints buckle but what does it matter: the photographer is fond of this kind of accident."" Claire Guillot ""Les face à face sans échappatoire du photographe Marc Trivier"" Le Monde 2011. Marc Trivier has a particular sensitivity for the material aspect of his productions. While photography is essentially multiple by nature 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. ""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 are no retouches no reframing. 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 makeup of color is rejected for an incisive black and white. 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: ""Marc Trivier's photographs write a tragedy of light which welcomes beings - men trees or beasts - only by burning them before disappearance."" 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"" of light brings us back to a real instant to Barthes' ""that-has-been"" La Chambre Claire 1980: ""From thirty-five years of photographic practice of obsessions perhaps this is what remains: a singular mode of recording the burning of light declined from one image to another in a succession of propositions that resemble each other and yet each is as singular as the fraction of time to which it refers."" Marc Trivier. ""Photography says only one thing: 'It was.' We only fix what has been. If there is a tragedy it is there."" Marc Trivier Warhol Foucault Beckett Dubuffet . the greatest writers and artists have posed for Trivier. Simultaneously the artist is also interested in the margins of society in what men do not want to see. He then photographs the insane and slaughterhouses that he places alongside celebrities. From the end of the 1980s his work is unanimously recognized and he receives the prestigious Young Photographer Award from The International Center of Photography in 1988 as well as the Prix Photographie Ouverte Charleroi.

Very light stain at head affecting nothing closed tears and crease at dust jacket head. Else good. Pages 205-636 are uncut. Based on his thesis first read by Dumezil and Hyyppolite this is Foucault's culture-breaking examination of the meaning of madness in the cultures and laws politics philosophy and medicine of Europeâ_x0080__x0094_from the Middle Ages until the end of the 18th centuryâ_x0080__x0094_and a critique of the idea of history and of the historical method. It was his first major work originating in his academic study of psychology his work in a Parisian mental hospital and his own personal psychological problems. "History of Madness is formed from both Foucaultâ_x0080__x0099_s extensive archival work and his intense anger at what he saw as the moral hypocrisy of modern psychiatry. He argued that the alleged scientific neutrality of modern medical treatments of insanity are in fact covers for controlling challenges to conventional bourgeois morality. In short Foucault argued that what was presented as an objective incontrovertible scientific discovery that madness is mental illness was in fact the product of eminently questionable social and ethical commitments".
