Histoire de la photographie : ll n’est peut-être pas surprenant qu’Elliot Erwitt, avec son œil laconique pour les significations multiples, ait été captivé par l’énigme des « couples » tout au long de sa carrière. «Le sujet m'intéresse beaucoup, car j'en ai moi-même été de temps en temps – avec bonheur parfois, parfois pas», déclare Erwitt. « J’ai pris de nombreuses photos sur ce sujet dans le cadre naturel de mon passe-temps favori : la photographie. » Ici, deux amoureux californiens sont surpris en train de s'embrasser dans le rétroviseur de leur voiture. A propos du photographe : Photographe américain, membre de l'agence Magnum depuis 1953, Elliott Erwitt a dépeint ses contemporains avec empathie et malice. Doué d'une rare intelligence des situations, il a su toucher des sentiments universels. Ses images sont directes, immédiatement compréhensibles, sans effets de style apparents. Son appareil photographique l'accompagne à chaque instant. Ses terrains d'observations sont la rue, les musées, la plage ou les jardins publics. Dans son petit théâtre de l'absurde, le chien domestique occupe une place de choix. « Faire rire les gens est une des plus parfaites réussites qu'on puisse espérer » répète-t-il avec modestie. Cette image de dilettante dissimule mal un regard subtil, un humanisme ponctué d'un solide sens de l'humour et de la dérision.

History of photography:

Perhaps it’s no surprise that Elliot Erwitt, with his laconic eye for multiple meanings, has been captivated by the conundrum of “couples” throughout his career. “I’m very interested in the subject, having been one myself from time to time—sometimes happily, sometimes not,” Erwitt says. “I’ve taken many pictures of this subject in the natural context of my favorite hobby: photography.” Here, two California lovers are caught kissing in the rearview mirror of their car.

About the photographer:

American photographer, member of the Magnum agency since 1953, Elliott Erwitt has depicted his contemporaries with empathy and mischief. Gifted with a rare intelligence of situations, he has been able to touch universal feelings. His images are direct, immediately understandable, without apparent stylistic effects. His camera accompanies him at all times. His observation grounds are the street, museums, the beach or public gardens. In his little theater of the absurd, the domestic dog occupies a place of choice. "Making people laugh is one of the most perfect successes one can hope for" he repeats with modesty. This dilettante image barely conceals a subtle look, a humanism punctuated by a solid sense of humor and derision.
