"Photographers' History" Collection.
A new photographer, Vivian Maier, was discovered in 2010 after she had just passed away. Her tens of thousands of photographs, the majority of which were undeveloped negatives, were discovered after her death, making her a famous artist. From then on, everyone wondered about this woman's story, her personality, and discovered that she also had a very strong connection to France.
Françoise Perron followed in her footsteps, in New York, Chicago, and the Hautes-Alpes region, and collected the stories of those who knew her well in France and the United States, revealing, beyond the caricature of a cantankerous nanny that has often circulated about her, a troubled and endearing personality. From Vivian Maier's childhood in the Champsaur valley of the 1930s, through adolescence in a family that was torn apart, to this young woman who defied the customs of American society in the 1950s, the book traces all the eras. Through the photographer's prolific work, dispersed among the hands of various collectors, the work reveals the different facets of her personality: her intelligence, her intellectual curiosity.
