Jacques Barsac Author & Editor

Jacques Barsac has made some forty documentaries on art and historical subjects, winning twenty prizes in international festivals, including a silver medal from the Academie d'Architecture. With this book, which follows his Charlotte Perriand. Un art d'habiter (2006), he continues to explore the work of this pioneer in the twentieth-century modern movement. Francois Cheval, sociologist, anthropologist and great expert in the world of photography, is the director of Musee Nicephore Niepce in Chalon-sur Saone, a temple of photography dedicated to the one who invented it in 1816. Alfred Paquement, curator of Monumenta 2008, has been the director of the Musee national d'art moderne Centre Pompidou since September 2000.
