Photographier la pêche : Inédits de la collection du musée national de la Marine

Description

The Musée National de la Marine houses a sumptuous collection of photographs that show the changing way in which fishing has been viewed since the end of the 19th century. This richly illustrated catalogue invites readers to plunge into a captivating visual universe through images that become the testimony of fascinating human stories, somewhere between documentary, art and ethnography.

The photographs presented suggest different ways of reading the same image, and invite us to question the role of their authors in highlighting gestures, objects or situations that are representative of fishing. A journey through time, this unprecedented body of work is aimed at both specialists and lovers of art and the sea.
