The Open Studio

When a photographer push the door of an artist

Protected by the mess in their art studios, they draw, paint, sculpt, weld or assemble. Sometimes a photographer, usually a friend, walks though the door to capture one of the artists’ portraits, a glimpse of their intimacy for a sometimes voyeuristic public. At the Gallery Bethet-Aittouares, follow these photographers into the artist’s lair, places of artistic creation where Contemporary Art is born. We present around forty original photographs from 1937 to the present day.
