Madeleine de Sinéty. Une Vie

13 rue de l'abbaye
75006 Paris
France

Madeleine de Sinéty. A Life is the first monograph dedicated to the photographer, whose work spans four decades between France and the United States. A self-taught photographer, Madeleine de Sinéty created her best-known series in the village of Poilley, Brittany, where she settled in the early 1970s. There, she documented the lives of its residents in both color and black and white, combining an artistic approach with close attention to everyday life. Her body of work reflects careful observation of reality, whether in Paris, New York, or Poilley. With sensitivity and warmth, she offers an intimate portrait of a world undergoing change.
