About
Why this artist matters now
Roger Schall was a French photographer active from the 1930s onward, working in studio portraiture and street documentary photography. His approach was marked by directness and close observation of postwar French cultural and political life. Schall's body of work bridges the intimate register of the portrait studio with the immediacy of street observation, establishing him as a significant recorder of mid-twentieth-century French society.
