First edition. Inscribed by P. Vermes „To Jean and Robert Graves 42 Wedding Anniversary September 11. 1990 Philippe Vermes Lacornia 9. 5. 90“. – „Anyone seeking to find out what became of Robert Frank’s black bikers or Danny Lyon’s young white working-class cyclists – a disciple of Frank who later photographed these marginal heroes – can turn to the work of Philippe Vermès. Perhaps they will find them there. Like the itinerant portraitist of small towns of yesteryear, Philippe Vermès grants them the right to be seen without judgement, accepting them as they are. The result is portraits brimming with information, teeming with rich observational details that draw on two traditions: photography and painting. A classically trained painter who became a photographer, Philippe Vermès is the logical custodian of these two related approaches“ (A. D. Coleman). – Philippe Vermès born in 1942, is a French artist photographer who lives and works in Paris. A graduate of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris, the photographer and portraitist transcribes with the eye of a painter in love with black & white portraiture.
