Supported by numerous photographs, this book is a life seen through objects. Just like André Breton before him, Bernard Dufour accumulated numerous primitive art objects in his house in Pradié. He does not, however, define himself as a collector, not seeking to assemble an exhaustive collection from a specific period or movement, but rather as a “second-hand dealer,” taking pleasure in finding new objects, guided in his choice not by history but by form.
In counterpoint, a text by Philippe Dagen, an art critic who regularly writes in the columns of Le Monde, takes an external look at this unique ensemble, that of friendship.
