"Batho graduated in photography from the École des arts appliqués in 1956. She went on to work in the archives at the Bibliothèque nationale de France where she met her husband, John Batho, also a photographer. Her black-and-white photographs document details of the inside of her home: a broom leaning against a wall, a fading bunch of flowers, her little daughter asleep on the couch, all represented with surprising intensity, evoking a f ..."

"Denis Brihat porte un regard intense et subtil sur la nature. Chez Brihat, écrivait Hervé Guibert, « chaque légume récupère ses artères, son sexe, sa vie. Les racines d’un oignon se métamorphosent en forêt vierge, les lamelles d’ail en étoffes, les épis en oiseaux, les cuivres des écorces virent à l’or vif sous l’effort patient du manipulateur qui filtre les couleurs de son herbier. » La particularité de son travail réside aussi dan ..."
