Pierre Jahan French, 1909-2003
Yeux des poupées, 1945
Photography
20 x 26 cm
Monotype
Always obsessed with sight, as any photographer, much less a surrealist one, should be, the eye becomes a recurring motif in the works of Pierre Jahan starting from the 1940s.
This photograph, developped in the '40s, shows a bouquet of puppet eyes. The sight is multiplied infinitely.
