Alexis Stroukoff. Photo, Woman Lying On A Sofa

Silver print signed, numbered 1/7 and dated: 1997, bearing the artist's stamp. 50.5 x 40.5 cm Born in Paris to Russian parents who emigrated during the 1917 revolution, Alexis Stroukoff entered photography school in 1960, a time when anything was possible for a young photographer. It then evolves from encounter to encounter. The first is that of the photographer Lipnizky who owns a photography agency specializing in theater and opera. He made his debut there as an assistant, then as a studio photographer, taking Yves Montand, Juliette Greco or even Eugène Ionesco in his viewfinder... Then he left this universe to enter the court of stars, at Filipachi. Working with Jean Marie-Perrier at the magazine Salut les Copains, he now follows Claude François in Africa, Adamo at the Universal Exhibition, France Gall, Sheila, Nicoletta, Nino Ferrer, but also Dick Rivers and Antoine... In 1971, a new challenge arises when he returns to Paris from a stay in England. For Vogue, he signs photos alongside Guy Bourdin and Henry Clarke, then continues to take fashion and beauty photographs, as well as reports that take him from Haiti to Israel. He then met the masters Beaton, Horst, Newton, Pen, and began to lay out his own photos, before becoming artistic director of Vogue in 1986. He left the magazine in 1991 to design the magazine Aura for Art Curial .
