Jack Garofalo Art for Sale and Sold Prices

b. 1923 - d. 2004

Jack Garofalo belongs to the first team match, which was gathered around jean prouvost, former head of Paris-Soir, the leading daily before the war, by Jean Rigade and André Lacaze. This is Daniel Filipacchi, then reporter, who introduced him to the young journalists, animated by an enthusiasm which only can taste the survivors of difficult years. In this editorial, located in the Champs-Elysees, where camaraderie fight the spirit of competition, photographers are spoiled children able to take risks for a scoop. Jack Garofalo is a product of this golden age. Dilettante artist, he might as well have written that take pictures. Its distance puts away ephemeral fads. His amused gaze caress the stars without being trapped by them. Fell in love with the beaches of Saint-Tropez at the time when they are still deserted, he will go after the world to find their solitude, bringing to Paris a false nonchalance that allows him to watch for the moment, as the sparrow cat .
