Martine Franck Interview on ARTINFO

Swimming Pool by Martine Franck

Your work, as you say, portrays both sadness and happiness, but it seems to me that there’s always something melancholic about your portrayals of happiness.

Well, that’s the nature of happiness. You know that it’s not going to last. It’s fleeting, it’s fragile, and it’s this ephemeral quality that I find fascinating. You can capture it in photography. You can also capture it in the cinema. It’s harder to capture in painting.
