Provenance With Galerie Marwan Hoss, Paris Franco-Vietnamese photographer Huynh’s thematic preoccupations include the face, in particular, as here, the human gaze. Huynh is a disciple of Irving Penn and so composes his subjects in a sim ilar manner, developing all of his oversized gelatin silver prints himself in a darkroom. His work has been exhibited widely and can be found in a number of international institutions, such as the Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Osaka University of Art and Moscow House of Photography.
