Jacques Cloarec — photographer

From the ballets of choreographer Maurice Béjart to sacred ceremonies on the ghats of Benares, via the performances of composer Sylvano Bussotti, portraits of personalities (Angelo Frontoni, Édouard Mac-Avoy, Ravi Shankar, Nicolas Nabokov...), and the funeral of Igor Stravinsky, Jacques Cloarec, a self-taught and passionate photographer and close collaborator of Alain Daniélou, presents a selection of images imbued with culture and emotion.
