Jean Gaumy and the Sea highlights Jean Gaumy's view of the world of the sea.
Thanks to more than 140 photographs from the collection of the Médiathèque du patrimoine et de la photographie, this monograph reveals how this major figure in contemporary photography captures with rare intensity maritime themes as diverse as fishing, the open sea, the trauma of oil spills, the closed world of submarines and even the exploration of the poles.
From Normandy to Greenland, via Andalusia and Long Island, from documentary reporting to more contemplative poetry or the search for a form of derealization aiming at abstraction, the "Gaumy style" is revealed through emblematic photographs but also others that are more confidential and unpublished.
