The first monographic catalogue devoted to this humanist photographer who was familiar with the whole artistic and intellectual world of Paris, from the 1930s to the 1960s.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A painter before becoming a photographer, \u00e9mile Savitry rubbed shoulders with all the artists, writers, and intellectuals of all kinds who came to live in Paris in the 1930s from around the world.
\nThe stunning success of his first exhibition of surrealist paintings, introduced by Aragon in 1929, led this shy man to run away to Tahiti with Georges Malkine. On his return, he discovered Django Reinhardt in the port of Toulon and brought him to paris, where he introduced him to the french jazz scene. He enjoyed his greatest moments at the Caf\u00e9 D\u00f4me, la Coupole, and Vavin, which were to become his home from home and the place where he met the Pr\u00e9vert brothers, Paul Grimault, Alberto Giacometti, Anton Prinner, Victor Brauner, and Oscar Dominguez.
\nWith Brassa\u00ef and later Robert Doisneau, he pursued his career as a photographer at the Rapho agency. He worked as a reporter, immortalising republican refugees from the spanish Civil War and the common people living around place Pigalle, as a stills photographer for Marcel Carn\u00e9 on Les Portes de la Nuit <\/em>and La Fleur de l\u2019Age <\/em>and as a fashion photographer for Vogue and Harper\u2019s Bazaar<\/em>, before returning to his first love: painting. his portraits of artists reveal an astonishing intimacy, and his photos of nudes, particularly well received in Japan, testify to his profound sensibility.
\nIn 1967, \u00e9mile Savitry died suddenly, while still at the height of his success, and this monographic catalogue is the first to be devoted to him. The work of this prolific and unjustly neglected humanist photographer deserves to be brought back into the limelight today.<\/p>\n
