Exhibition - Quais rochelais, Jean Gaillard
Musée Maritime - Place Bernard Moitessier
17000 - La Rochelle
Photographer for the regional daily Sud-Ouest from 1954 to 1987, Jean Gaillard took a sensitive, poetic look at the daily lives of the people of La Rochelle, following in the footsteps of the great French humanist photographers.
In 2009, the heritage department of La Rochelle's Médiathèque Michel Crépeau received a donation of over twenty-five thousand negatives by Jean Gaillard, illustrating a decade of work.

The Quais Rochelais exhibition is a non-exhaustive selection from this collection, highlighting the lives of fishermen, sorters, carpenters, dockers and yachtsmen. A body of black-and-white photographs taken on the quays of La Rochelle in the 1950s and 1960s.

In collaboration with the Michel Crépeau media library and courtesy of Hélène Gaillard, the photographer's granddaughter.
