Many thanks for the recommendation, just spent a delightful afternoon
wandering around the Marissiaux exhibit, and some awesome images by a
Russian war photographer Evgueni Khaldei.
Everybody, if you get the chance to visit the Musee de la Photographie a
Chaleroi, go see it. You could just about do Chaleroi and Antwerp Musee
in the same day.
Its worth the trip just to see the three Misonne oil and a Fresson
print.
The Marissiaux stuff is excellent, loved the diapositive
stereoscopique', as well as the Sury process prints - wonderful subdued
colours.
Really must get round to trying some other processes, but its back to
the chaingang on oil and bromoil for a while for me. I will master these
or die in the attempt!
But can anyone enlighten me? What is "Epreuve aux encres grasses"? This
is very soft subtle pigment print of some kind.
Anyway seriously kool place!
