Boycott Beijing Olympics

Je m'en excuse auprès des athlètes et de mes amis chinois mais je ne regarderai pas la cérémonie d'ouverture des jeux olympiques qui se dérouleront à Pekin. La brutalité du gouvernement chinois à l'égard de son propre peuple et le cynisme impudent jeté à la face du monde régénèrent les spectres haïs des grandes tyrannies du siècle passé.

    Mon frère Michel

    est un philosophe singulier qui publie régulièrement des livres qui ont cette qualité particulière d'être profonds, accessibles et en phase avec notre temps. "Un si Fragile Vernis D'humanité" s'attarde sur le phénomène des gens ordinaires qui se révèlent être des héros ou des salauds. Le prochain opus, à paraître en Octobre prochain, examine un aspect assez noir des coulisses du pouvoir: "Du Bon Usage de la Torture Ou Comment les Democraties Justifient l'Injustifiable." Son portrait, hier.

  • Merci Jacques

    Jacques Dirand m'a fait ce portrait pour la rubrique "Contributors " du AD espagnol devant le mur de sa maison dans le pays basque. Sans manière et du bout des doigts mais toujours avec cet oeil impeccable. La simplicité est l'apanage des grands. Je le remercie avec toute ma tendresse.

    FAREWELL MONSIEUR SAINT LAURENT

    In 1991, I was assigned by the american VOGUE to photograph a selection of couturier's studies among which was Monsieur Saint Laurent's, in the beautiful avenue Marceau maison de couture.It was the most exquisite room, decorated by his lifelong friend Jacques Grange. Few personal objects summed up the couturier's imaginary world along with some drawings by Bébé Bérard and a portrait of Silvana Mangano at the peak of her beauty. Monsieur Saint Laurent's Maison de Couture has been a moment of perfection in the history of french style.
