Cerisier dans le mistral, 1989
Denis Brihat (1928–2024) was a celebrated French photographer (rather than a painter in the traditional sense) who is considered a pioneer of fine-art photography and a master of darkroom craftsmanship.
Although he worked with film and darkroom techniques, he referred to his unique prints as "photographic paintings" (tableaux photographiques) because of his painterly, alchemy-like approach to color and texture.
