Étienne Bertrand Weill (1919-2001) was a French photographer. His primary works were abstract Metaforms.[1]
Early life
Born in 1919 in Paris to an assimilated Jewish family, he is the son of Raphaël Weill[2] and Jeanne Ullmann. He had an early interest in art, but decided to pursue photography because his older brother and two of his uncles, Louis Ullmann and
Édouard Moyse (1827-1907), were already painters. He graduated from École nationale de Photographie et de cinéma Louis Lumière.[3]
War period
He joined the
French Resistance in 1942, and used his drawing talents to forge identity papers in order to save children before enlisting in the
maquis of the Éclaireurs israélites de France.[4] At the end of the war he joined the First army to fight in the Vosges and Alsace campaign. His mother was arrested in 1942 before being interned at
Drancy internment camp and later deported to
Sobibor extermination camp where she was killed in March 1943.
Early photographic career
After the conclusion of the war, he decided to pursue photography fulltime. His photographs during this period developed in various directions: he photographs architecture, art — becoming the main photographer of
Jean Arp's works — and for a short period, experiments the humanist photography. These works are published in magazines —
L’Architecture d’aujourd’hui, directed by
André Bloc, or Cahiers d’Art by Christian Zervos.[5] He portrays artists (
Jean-Paul Sartre,
Eugène Ionesco, etc.), documents the life of workers (The Life of a Parisian Metalworker, the Brass Band of
Renault, The Demonstration...)
During the war, he had met with
Marcel Marceau who represented a milestone in his career, orienting him towards mime, theatre and dance photography. He was the only photographer accepted by
Étienne Decroux,[6] and also took pictures of
Jean-Louis Barrault and
Madeleine Renaud.
Metaforms, the mature work
From the 1960s, with the Metaforms created, he becomes one of the masters of abstract photography and takes his place in the kinetic art, one of the great trends of modern photography. He presents one of these early Metaforms in an exhibition organised by the
Groupe Espace at Biot in 1957.
With these Metaforms, described as “music for the eyes” by
Maurice Fleuret, he will later imagine and elaborate kinetic suites accompanied by music. Neither music or the Metaform are illustrative, but both aim at creating a world free from reality. They will be part of various scenographies, poetic recitals, concert, dance and mime shows, projected, among other places, at Le Musée d’art moderne de la Ville de Paris.[7] in 1971 and 1976, Le theatre de la Ville de Paris[8] (where in 1971 one of his suites is the prelude to Hymnen, by
Karlheinz Stockhausen, choreographed by Le Ballet contemporain, in a scenography by
Gérard Fromanger), and also projected at Opéra de Paris and in many international festivals around the world.
He also directed an experimental short film, produced by
Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française, Variations I & I. It was awarded a special mention at the Jerusalem's Amateur and Short Film Festival.
From 1975 to 1986, he taught photography at
Paris-Sorbonne University and was a member of the Plastic Arts Agregation jury.
