Description
RAYMOND CAUCHETIER (1920–2021)
*À bout de souffle*, Jean-Luc Godard. “Oh! Champs-Élysées!” The scene from *La Descente des Champs-Élysées*, reconstructed panel, Champs-Élysées, Paris, 1959.
Contemporary inkjet print, UltraChrome inks on Hahnemühle baryta paper, Picto laboratory.
Dimensions: 90 × 68 cm.
Raymond Cauchetier used this vintage spread, dating from 1959, to create the layout for the photo-novel of *À bout de souffle* intended for the newspapers *Le Parisien libéré* (daily, 1969) and *Chez nous* (bi-monthly, 1970). For these publications, he cut out all the photographs from the original sheet.
Recently, Kaoru Cauchetier reconstructed this sheet from the fragments cut out by Raymond 56 years ago. With the help of François George from the Picto laboratory, she was able to restore the spread to the form she had envisaged: after all these years, the scattered fragments have finally found their rightful place.
