Photography Appreciation
French photographer René Maltête was born on May 8, 1930 in Lamballe, Brittany. He is known for his humorous and poetic photographs that capture the charm and absurdity of everyday life.
Maltête started taking pictures with a Pontiac Bakélite, a 6x9 folding camera, at the age of 16. He began his career as a photographer in the 1950s with a Semflex 6×6 TLR.
His work quickly gained recognition for its unique and playful style. He was particularly interested in capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life and his photographs often feature unexpected juxtapositions and visual puns.
Maltête's black and white photography often provided a sense of humor and irony that has a feel of timeless quality. His work has been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums throughout France and Europe.
René Maltête passed away on November 8, 2000.
