Biography

Sudre was born in Paris but later moved to the south of France. There he devoted his life to workshops of fine art photography.

Photography

Sudre's subject-matter was mainly the still-life and figure. He is best known for his experimentation with chemicals, and is credited with the creation of Mordançage (tr. 'etching', ' scouring'), though he built the process on the film reversal technique first documented in 1897 by Paul Liesegang and known as etch-bleach, bleach-etch, gelatin relief, or reverse relief.[1]

Recognition

In 1957 Sudre was awarded the Lion d'Or at the first Biennale Internationale de la Photographie at Venice, Italy.

In 1970, at the invitation of writer Michel Tournier, Sudre participated in the first Rencontres d'Arles as a guest of honour, and was included in first public evening meeting of three important 'Photographers of the Moment', with Brihat Denis and Jean-Philippe Charbonnier. Many photographers from all over France came to this event.[2]

He died in Aix-en-Provence, aged 75, after a prolonged illness.

gollark: It's not simple because of no generics. It's more complex since they added bodges to work around not having them like the three standard library generic types.
gollark: The code you call simple is long and verbose. The waitgroup thing is a hack because go's got no generics for some sort of parallel map function.
gollark: Haskell is higher level. That means there's less noise to get in the way, unlike Go. Or at least would be, but insane Haskellers add more lots.
gollark: Green threads aren't exactly a new idea. Rust has libraries for that.
gollark: Anyway, they should just have added generics. They improve readability by allowing abstraction.
