Persona
With images of African masks alongside contemporary African art, this book presents an original look at the role of the mask in African culture. Based on an exhibition of 180 masks and works by contemporary African artists, it offers a new interpretation of the mask as the universal object that both hides and reveals.
The Artist's Studio
During the Romantic period, painters, sculptors and architects enjoyed being photographed in their studio, the setting for their talent.

Figures and Portraits
The early photographers had to grapple with the problem of reproducing the human figure to make a portrait. In the beginning they used a relatively slow, restrictive technique. The collections of the Mus, e d'Orsay provide an accurate chronology of the development of portraiture in international photography from 1850 to 1914, both stylistically and thematically (official portraits, artists, actresses, intimate portraits).

The most remarkable portraits were then produced privately by amateur photographers. At the turn of the nineteenth century, the rules of portraiture and figure photography exploded when lightweight cameras came on the market, fitted with instant film which permitted una
