Something special


This is a portrait Jean Ferrero took of his friend and fellow photographer Cesar.
It's beautiful, and I wonder if they were more than just friends.
You can see a photo of them together here:

  1. Spéculatif :)
    César Baldaccini (1921-1998)
    was an artist of the Nice school founded in the 1950’s, of which Ferrero was a major patron and promoter of their work. He has donated many art works to museums in Nice.
    César was known for his metal sculptures and at one time lived above the atelier of the famed Giacometti.
    Ferrero is still with us at 95.
    Merci beaucoup for this presentation of Jean Ferrero, patron of the arts and male beauté :)
