About This Item
Early in his career, Sudre's photographic work was largely landscape and still life, but through his experimentation into the older processes, he developed the mordançage process, where a gelatin silver photograph is placed in a bleach bath consisting of copper chloride, hydrogen peroxide and glacial acetic acid. The gelatin in the dark areas of the print lifts from the surface and can be manipulated into various shapes or totally removed. The print is then redeveloped with a variety of developers and toners, creating a tonal reversal. This process allowed Sudre to delve deeper into the image, to the micro level, where he used crystals, plants and insects for subjects as images of an alternate and intimate landscape. Sudre's vast knowledge and distinctive style afforded him a great many opportunities to teach this and other processes in several art schools in France.
Although relatively unknown to the broad American audience, Sudre exhibited throughout Europe and is widely collected.
