Sudpsuez Francois Halard: Art and Flowers
Words by Francois Halard
The master photographer’s compelling images of his two most intimate passions: art and flowers.
“His photography has an innate capacity to evoke emotion and tell stories that linger in the mind long after the image is seen,” writes Dries Van Noten in the foreword to this two-volume series of images.
Long revered for his personal photography of the world’s most celebrated buildings and interiors, Halard strikes a new path with two new bodies of work. Confined to his house in Arles after a shoulder injury in early 2024, Halard began photographing the objects immediately surrounding him with his Polaroid camera. In turns traditional and abstract, the Flowers series is a captivating exploration of nature’s beauty. As beautifully described by fashion designer Dries Van Noten, “The Polaroid captures a fleeting moment, blossoming into a lasting memory, while the real flower, vibrant and alive, ultimately withers away, reminding us that beauty can be both preserved and ephemeral.”
In the second series, Art, Halard has enlarged a select number of his Polaroids, which he then worked on top with paint, wax, and other materials to give the final results a strong, layered sense of history and memory. Many of the images are made of ancient statuaries or details of Renaissance paintings from Italy and Greece—the tight crop of a marble head, or the folds of 15th-century drapery. “I am delving into the idea that antiquity can be modern,” Halard states in his interview with art curator Bice Curiger, “I like to start with a specific object to turn it into another, transitory object.” Halard’s transformation of the ephemeral into the permanent, in the case of his flowers; and the permanent into the ephemeral, in the case of his Classical-inspired artworks—give power and beauty to these compelling images.

Sudpsuez Inside Florence, A Tale of Palazzi and Botteghe
Words by Livia Frescobaldi
Photographs by Alessandro Moggi, Eugenia Maffei
The home “is the place of return,” it is where “memory is”. I agree fully with Emanuele Coccia in his consideration that the setting of our private lives, the one that is most intimate and most familiar to us, is an expression of culture like a work of art or a monument of which we study the origins, the provenance and the material, craving to know and understand everything. -Livia Frescobaldi
Inside Florence, published by Marsilio Arte, offers an original account of Florence stemming from a love for the preservation of its places and the desire to offer an intimate and fresh look at the beauty and age-old skills of the city’s artisan workshops, which make the Tuscan capital one of the most admired cities in the world.
The splendid views, the meticulous details of the furnishings, the framing of the images, the care and attention in narrating and describing the opulence and refinement of the Florentine residences, are just some of the elements that author Livia Frescobaldi has selected to trace out an itinerary revealing her favourite places.
Through the photography of Alessandro Moggi and Eugenia Maffei, the book appears almost like a fresco with infinite scenarios, the protagonists of which are the heirs of a thousand-year-old history, in a difficult balance between modernity and tradition. There are sixteen sections for sixteen residences – ranging from palaces and gardens to former monasteries – each linked to a specific form of craftsmanship: the first pairing described is that between Palazzo Frescobaldi and the Antico Setificio Fiorentino, with a union rendered indissoluble by the customised Frescobaldi fabric, which has been in production since time immemorial. Inside Florence does not merely hold up a mirror to Florence’s architectural and artistic wealth, but is also an act of love towards those professional artisans who, as Leonardo Ferragamo states in his introductory text, ‘continue to create the history of the future with their ingenious, persevering and dedicated passion’.
Enriched and enhanced by the introductions of Eugenio Giani, President of the Region of Tuscany, and Bernabò Bocca, President of the Fondazione CR Firenze, the books stresses the uniqueness and historic nature of the city of Florence, that jealously guards its art professions and artisan workshops, its well-known palaces and more hidden ones, its gardens and spaces dedicated to contemporary times. The itinerary proposed in its pages has been planned for those who want to live Florence, rather than just visit it.
