One Day in November Hardcover - 2009

by Backhaus, Jessica


From the publisher

"It was Thursday, the 5th November 1992. I had no idea that on this particular day I would meet the legendary photographer Gisele Freund and that it would have such an impact on my life."

Jessica Backhaus' book is a tribute to Gisele Freund on what would have been her one hundredth birthday in December 2008, a testament to the friendship between the great photographer and the photography student in Paris during the 1990s. Intended as a posthumous birthday present, Backhaus compiled a collection of images that visually convey what the great artistic and intellectual figures of the twentieth century taught her.
