Jaipur, 14 August: Tracing his journey to France in the 70s, 82-year-old photographer, Prof. Parmanand Dalwadi has captured incongruous and unusual situations in a collection of 50 photographs with his Nikon F. These pictures combine humour, tenderness and observations of French society which are described with short stories for each photo. Showcasing a combination of portraits and landscapes, ‘A Visit to France, 1970: An Exhibition by Parmanand Dalwadi’ will be inaugurated on Wednesday, 17 August at the Gem Cinema in Jaipur. The collection will include photographs of Paris as well as the rest of France. There will also be a book with photos and handwritten stories behind each one by Prof. Dalwadi himself.
Speaking about the exhibition, Prof. Dalwadi said: “The exhibition is a creative response and poetic culmination of my friendship with legendary photographer, Henri Cartier-Bresson and a testimony to his unique style of photography. Cartier-Bresson is known as the father of candid photography and street photography. When the National Institute of Design (NID), where I started, offered me the opportunity to meet and accompany, Henri Cartier-Bresson, my photographer’s eye approached this art in a way that was unimaginable before. Throughout his memorable visits to India, our interactions profoundly influenced my photography style. He taught me to look at my country with a new curiosity for clichés that I perceived as normal and did not see before. ‘A Visit to France, 1970’ documents life in Paris as I witnessed it during my life-changing trip to France, which was offered to me by Cartier-Bresson. In contact with a new culture, I desired to photograph everything that seemed weird or funny to me and to tell the story through images of France. I especially loved sharing the stories behind each photograph as well as the moments of wonderment that inspired my life as a photographer for the last 50 years.”
Director, French Institute India, Jaipur, Ms Sanjana Sarkar said that the French Institute India is excited to display Prof Dalwadi’s extensive collection which is a cultural confluence of the Indo-French relationship. The exhibition showcases the artistic expression of both countries. They aptly capture the essence of 1970s Paris, through everyday people. Dalwadi’s style of photography was much shaped earlier by Cartier-Bresson whom he assisted when the latter toured India in 1965. In return, Cartier took Dalwadi to Paris to work with the world-renowned photographer, Pierre Gassmann.
