Unique
Pierre Jahan's publicity shots from the 1940s have a distinct surrealist feel to them. "As an old and unrepentant surrealist I was able to allow myself, at that time, to indulge in fantasies." as the artist will relate in his memoirs, Objectif.
Under Jahan's lens the Daum glass works become biomorphic shapes in the vein of Yves Tanguy.
