Presentation

The Centre des monuments nationaux invites you to discover the exhibition " Water and Humanity ", featuring fifteen black and white photographs taken by humanist photographer Emeric Feher at the Château d'If.

A source of life and inspiration for Feher the humanist, water was to irrigate his photographic production. The people of Marseille also inspired him enormously. Take a tour of the château to discover a collection of photos taken in Marseille's old port, in the South of France and around the docks of Paris.

Emeric Feher

Emeric Feher (1904-1966) was a " humanist " photographer, in love with nature, bodies and life. He photographed French people in their day-to-day activities, in their surroundings, from nature, with no posing.

After his death, Élisabeth Feher, his wife, bequeathed his entire body of work - over 20,000 square-format black and white photos - to the Caisse nationale des monuments historiques, now known as the Centre des monuments nationaux.
