Biography

Both humanist and poetic, Léon Claude Vénézia’s photographs take us to the East of Paris and its suburbs. Born in 1941, he immortalized the big transformations in architecture and society occurred from the late 1960’s to the 1980’s, from Belleville to Drancy, and from Ménilmontant to Bobigny. Outstanding colorist, he composes happy representations of a popular Paris where children, immigrants, craftsmen and street jobs mix. The Roger-Viollet photo agency has been exclusively presenting a selection of his photographs since June 2013.
