First Edition of Impressionism by Jonathan Bertin (2024) First Impression Medium format Hardback in new condition About On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Impressionis t movement, Jonathan Bertin worked for two years between Paris and Normandy, his place of origin and cradle of the discipline, photographing the places of his daily life, banal scenes, mundane scenes, limestone cliffs. and lively waves of the Alabaster Coast. This movement, which appeared in France in the last quarter of the 19th century, emphasizes the visual sensation and the instantaneous expression of luminous effects. Born in part due to the emergence of photography which then made it possible to perfectly depict reality, Jonathan Bertin thus takes the opposite path: using photography not to freeze a moment but to restore its movement. Everyday life becomes a playground, Jonathan embraces the subtlety of the ordinary, the colors, the passage of time. His approach paints a sensitive portrait of Normandy, a relationship with spaces and things that stands out like a melody. Show more
