La maison de Rosalie

La Maison de Rosalie is a book featuring a selection of photographs by Agnès Varda and works and portraits by sculptor Valentine Schlegel.

Born in Sète in 1925, Valentine Schlegel lives in Paris. She trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Montpellier before moving to Paris to devote herself to ceramics. The artist sees her work as sculptures in their own right, directly inspired by nature. Her ceramics, with their primitive yet sophisticated forms, make Valentine Schlegel one of the most important ceramists of the 50’s. .

Born in Belgium in 1928, Agnès Varda died in Paris in 2019. Starting out in the 1950s as a photographer for the Festival d’Avignon and the Théâtre National Populaire, Agnès Varda went on to become one of France’s most internationally acclaimed directors and pioneers of the New Wave after her first film, La Pointe Courte, in 1954. In 2003, at the Venice Biennale, she began her life as a visual artist. Her work combines, alternates and abysses her vision and practice of photography, cinema, video and space.
