BIOGRAPHY
Jean Dieuzaide was a French photographer born in 1921 in Grenade-sur-Garonne and who died in 2003 in Toulouse, known for his still lifes and humanistic portraits.
In September 1944, an exclusive news report on the liberation of Toulouse marked the beginning of Jean Dieuzaide's professional career. From then on, the press and publishing would remain regular fixtures for him. He signed under the pseudonym Yan until 1971, when he devoted himself to the recognition of author photography. He traveled to Lourdes, Spain, Portugal, Sardinia and as far in Turkey to meet those "people", both simple and magnificent beings who, illuminated by the magic of Dieuzaide, come out of anonymity.
Known for his keen sense of composition and his ability to capture the emotion of the simplest moments, Jean Dieuzaide imbues both his portraits of artist friends and his street subjects with a spontaneity that does not constrain any particular style.
To this day, he remains the only photographer to have won both the Niépce and Nadar photography prizes.
