"I'm always fascinated by the play of light - and chance. Like everything that is in the shadow beings and things take a sort of drift similar dream, dream or nightmare, ecstasy, fear, entr'ouvent the door of the fourth dimension in which can not be really believe I have always lived. This is all that I have, no doubt, led to photography "

After the War, a new Louvre, transformed by major renovation
work, gradually opened to the public between
1945 and 1947.
And thanks to the skills
and tenacity of those responsible for
safeguarding cultural property, the
museum’s major masterpieces
returned to the palace, virtually unscathed. (Louvre)
