Lucien Clergue简历
From the age of 7, Lucien Clergue learnt to play the violin. Several years later, his teacher revealed to him that he had nothing more to teach him. From a family of modest shopkeepers, he could not pursue further studies in Conservatory. In 1949, he learns the rudiments of photography. Four years later, at a corrida in Arles, he forces destiny by showing his photos to Pablo Picasso, who is subdued and demands to see others. During one and a half year, young Clergue works with the goal of sending photos to Picasso. It’s during this period that he works on his series of photographs of traveling entertainers, acrobats and arlequins, the 《 Saltimbanques 》. He also works in parallel on a series whose subject is carrion.
The 4th of November 1955, Lucien Clergue goes to Picasso’s in Cannes who receives him with open arms. Their friendship will last near thirty years, up to the death of the Master. The book, “Picasso my friend” retraces the important moments of their relation.
Clergue has taken many photographs of the gypsies of souther France, and was instrumental in propelling the guitarist Manitas de Plata to fame.
In 1968 he founded, along with his friend Michel Tournier the Rencontres d?Arles photography festival which is held in Arles in July.
Clergue has illustrated books, among these a book by writer Yves Navarre.
In 2007, the city of Arles honored Lucien Clergue and dedicates a retrospective collection of 360 of his photographs dating from 1953 to 2007. He also received the 2007 Lucie Award .
He is named knight of the Légion d?honneur in 2003 and elected member of the Academy of Fine Arts of the Institute of Franc on the 31 May, 2006 , on the creation of a new section consecrated to photography. So, Clergue is the first photographer to enter the Academy to a seat devoted to photography.
(Yann Arthus-Bertrand was elected to the second seat ever.)
