Photographer Photographer Clergue, Lucien Author Author of the book upon which the photograph appears Sarrazin, Albertine Book Genre Autobiographical fiction Photograph Title Title of photograph Albertine Sarrazin Photo Genre Genre of Photograph Portrait Designer Designer of book cover Not Listed Notes Notes associated with the item While Lucien Clergue is best known for his nudes, not unlike like many photographers, he made pictures in a number of genres, including portraiture.
 <br />Clergue's portrait of the renegade Morrocon-born French writer Albertine Sarrazin was one of a number taken in front of the cement wall of a building, possibly her home at the time. 
Notice the faint rectangular shadows that spill over to the spine and verso of the wrap-around cover. They are from a lattice-like wall on the left side, out of the picture, and suggest prison bars. <br />Albertine, who was incarcerated several times during her tragic life, began writing while in jail. She died in 1967 at age 29.<br />
Clergue's original image was made in black &amp; white, but is printed for the book cover in yellow.
