Thank you Phiippe for share on the list Martine Franck has traspassed,  
I love her pictures and her personality

I've found this
http://polkamagazine.com/18/le-mur/martine-franck/865

I have her book, the work at "Les Petits fr?res", the title is "De  
temps en temps", I highly recomend this book printed in 1988, I'm  
sorry no ISBN for identification, was published by IDEODIS CREATION,  
and the printer was JEAN GENOUD, Lausanne, SWITZELAND, the foreword by  
Claude Roy is very nice, the first words are:

"Les vieilles gens, le temps les tire par-dedans, les fripant les  
froissant, les rouillant, les usant, les romgeant, les d?formant, les  
fatigant (ah! fatigue, fatigue, que le bout du chemin souvent est  
ext?nuant!).

Mais ? l'int?rieur des vieilles gens, il y a un ?tre jeune qui s'agite  
et demande sortir. Il sait bien que ce n'est pas convenable. Mais il  
voudrait sortir."


in another paragraphe he says:

"Elle a photographi? les sentiments... (sic) .... L'extr?mit? de l'art  
d'un artiste, c'est de rendre visible l'invisible, ou ce qui est  
invisible pour un regard distrait ou trop mal tourn? vers soi. ..."

and at the end:

"Elle fait mentir la Rochefoucauld: elle regarde en face le temps qui  
d?vore tout, le temps qui d?vore le temps"

Marty it would be a great pleasure meet she in person!

I'm sorry, I'm unable to translate

Amiti?s
Lluis
