 17 October - 16 November 2008 For several years Marie-Paule Nègre has been producing candid photographic portraits of artists in their studios for the Gazette de l'Hôtel Drouot. The portraits, published regularly, are accompanied by interviews with Claudine Boni. These texts and images were presented in an exhibition and a catalogue. A powerful communication and information tool, the portraits and interviews were a huge success, and on the initiative of the Hôtel Drouot it was decided to repeat the experience. A living archive of contemporary art, this set of pictures and interviews constitutes a vibrant tribute to those who create the art of our time. Reaching beyond their works, Marie-Paule Nègre gives us the artists' faces, holding up a photographic mirror that makes the instant eternal. The Maison Européenne de la Photographie is delighted to be associated with this project which, like the Panthéon Nadar, brilliantly celebrates the French art scene. From 2006 to 2008, Marie-Paule Nègre made portraits of some fifty contemporary artists working in the Paris area.
