  • Martine Franck
    Martine Franck A photograph isn’t necessarily a lie, but nor is it the truth. It’s more of a fleeting, subjective impression. What I most like about photography is the moment that you can’t anticipate: you have to be constantly watching for it, ready to welcome the unexpected. Biography (1938-2012) April 2, 1938: Martine Franck was born in Antwerp, Belgium. Since the early years of her childhood, she was accustomed to distant horizons and constant travel. Leaving her native town, without ever coming back, she grew up in the United States and completed her studies in Long Island and Arizona. Later she left for Great Britain where her father joined the Army. 1956: Began studying Art History studies at the Madrid University, before being accepted to the Ecole du Louvre in Paris in 1958. She was 20 years old and learned to read French with notes from Robert Escarpit in Le Monde newspaper. Supporting her thesis on “Sculpture and Cubism: 1907-1915”, she met Ariane Mnouchkine, who became a major player in French Theater. 1963: During an initiatory journey in the Far East with Ariane Mnouchkine, Martine Franck began to photograph the charms and splendors of other civilizations such as China, Japan, India, Cambodia, Nepal, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran. She published her travel pieces in Eastern Horizons in Hong Kong. “Photography appeared randomly in my life. I obtained a visa for China and my cousin lent me a Leica telling me I was lucky and that I had to bring back pictures” confided Martine Franck in a 2007 interview to Roland Quilici.

    Martine Franck From February 20 to May 5, 2019 Elysée LausanneLausanne SavePress the kit date Martine Franck Elysée Lausanne Press kit 2/92/14 Wishing to showcase the pioneering work of female photographers in the 20th century, the Musée de l’Elysée is presenting a major retrospective dedicated to Martine Franck (1938-2012). Conceived by the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris and co-produced with the Musée de l’Elysée, this exhibition, exceptional in its scope, gathers almost 140 photographs, some of which have never been shown before and many of them chosen by the photographer herself. In addition to the photographer’s unique perspective of her entire body of work, this exhibition and publication project is based on an in-depth study of the Martine Franck archives, distinguishing it from previous retrospectives. Martine Franck was a key figure of 20th century photographic art, a member of Agence VU in 1970, the co-founder of Agence Viva in 1972 and a member of the Magnum cooperative from 1983 as well as being a journalist, reporter and portrait artist. She came to photography via a personal approach linked in no small part to her travels in Asia and Europe. When she decided to devote herself to a career in photography, she chose a field that included very few women at the time. Nevertheless, she managed to carve out a place for herself by concentrating on subjects rarely addressed by her male colleagues such as the work environment, women, old age, solidarity and humanitarian issues. For almost fifty years, independently of any aesthetic trends, she thus built up a personal body of work that was largely dedicated to the human condition throughout the world.

That is the reality of exile. The exhibition Over 300 images from the photojournalists of Magnum Photos tell the story of migration: walking, waiting, uncertainty, fear... and hope. Work from the agency’s historical greats – including Robert Capa, Werner Bischof and Raymond Depardon – is displayed alongside that of contemporary photographers shooting on the ground. From the Spanish Civil War to the Vietnam War, from the conflict in the former Yugoslavia to the one in the Middle East and the arrival of refugees at Europe’s door, the exhibition plunges the visitor into a riveting documentary exploration of our world and humanity, calling into question notions of territoriality, geopolitics, economic context and mental boundaries. EXILE brings the journey to life through a bold exhibition design that departs from traditional displays. Visitors are invited to physically handle the photographs, creating a completely different relationship to the images and lives of the people represented. Last but not least, works of contemporary art from the National Museum of Immigration History in Paris serve to broaden the discussion and offer a range of insights into the exhibition’s subject matter.
