Description
In 1974, Arnaud Maggs abandoned his career as a commercial and fashion photographer (previously having been a graphic designer) to pursue becoming an artist. This thorough survey of his photography examines his achievements from his first portrait works that investigate the typology of the human head to the series based on his photographs of paper ephemera and other items he has found in French flea markets. The early portraits show the work of time on the body, while the later works, apart from any actual images of people, create an overwhelming portrait of life’s traces.
