    • Élue.
      Dec. 13, 2024

      Élue.

      Est: €600 - €800

      Tirage argentique, en n./bl., 14,5 x 22 cm (à vue). - Cette image d’une grande force poétique fait écho au merveilleux surréaliste tel qu’il est développé à Paris et dans le Hainaut. Elle montre une femme dont on ignore le visage, qui semble se fondre dans la nature qui l’entoure. Marcel-G. Lefrancq (1916-1974) est un photographe de Mons, qui participe au surréalisme en Hainaut dès la fin des années 1930. Resté dans l’ombre en raison du petit nombre de tirages qu’il a réalisés, il a heureusement édité en 1948 un portfolio d’"images et poèmes" qu’il a nommé "Aux mains de la lumière" dont sont issues les cinq photographies présentées ici. La photographie originale date de 1945.

    • Marcel-G. Lefrancq Lefrancq, Les onzes Mois de la bonne Année, 1939 - 1945
      Nov. 29, 2019

      Marcel-G. Lefrancq Lefrancq, Les onzes Mois de la bonne Année, 1939 - 1945

      Est: €4,000 - €5,000

      Photographer's stamp and consecutively numbered '1' - '11' on the verso. Today, the œuvre of the Belgian surrealist Marcel-G. Lefrancq has largely faded into obscurity. Trained as an engineer, he began devoting himself to photography autodidactically in the 1930s and became a member of the surrealist artists group 'Rupture' from 1938 onwards. In his experimental works - photo montages, photograms, double exposures as well as staged nude photographs and still lifes in front of and for the camera - he fathomed the potential of the medium of photography. The erotically charged photo collages of his series 'Les onzes Mois de la bonne Année' were created between 1939 and 1945. In 1945, following the end of the Second World War, he participated in the significant exhibition 'Surréalisme' at Galerie des Éditions La Boétie in Brussels. He attracted a great deal of attention with his portfolio 'Aux Mains de la Lumière' (cf. lots 85 - 87), published in 1948, in which he included eight of his poems along with his photographs. The photograph by Lefrancq 'may be mentioned in the same breath with the achievements of, for example, Man Ray or Ubac […], even if Lefrancq never asserted such a claim. […] but the fact remains valid that his works are representative for the various movements within surrealist photography between 1935 and 1975 with regards to their objective value.' (Édouard Jaguer, Surrealistische Photographie. Zwischen Traum und Wirklichkeit, Cologne 1982, p. 118f.)
