"In anticipation of the Bicentennial of Photography, an upcoming event for which the Galerie Jean François Cazeau has received certification from the Ministry of Culture, part of the work of Pierre Jahan (1909–2003) is being displayed on the gallery walls. Pierre Jahan is an important figure in French photography, having distinguished himself both for his documentary images and his artistic prints. He was part of a generation of pioneers who sought to defend photography as an art form in its own right, promoting both pleasure and freedom."
