Jean-Louis Barrault, (born Sept. 8, 1910, Le Vésinet, France—died Jan. 22, 1994, Paris), French actor, director, and producer whose work with both avant-garde and classic plays helped revive French theatre after World War II. In 1946 he and his wife formed their own company at the Théâtre Marigny under the name Compagnie M. Renaud–J.L. Barrault. They opened withHamlet in a translation by André Gide, followed by Les Fausses Confidences(“False Confessions”) by Pierre Marivaux and Armand Salacrou’s Les Nuits de la colère (“Nights of Anger”). Thamila Mesbah, Study: Thérèse Le Prat (1895-1966) was a French photographer. After experimenting with landscape and portrait photography, Thérèse Le Prat concentrated on photographing faces. At first, she was photographing stage actors (her first two books, Visages d’Acteurs(1950) and Autres Visages d’Acteurs(1952) are remarkable documents of the post-War theater scene in Paris.) But then her work turned more abstract – she had actors perform for her camera, at first with masks, then with makeup alone. In exploring the face, Thérèse Le Prat looked to reveal extremes of human depth and emotion. And she added words to the mix: her later books include both prose and poetry to push the exploration further. In Masques et Destins(1955), her first book of these portraits, she and her actors searched for photographic expression of the extremes they played out on stage. For Un Seul Visage en ses Metamorphoses(1964), she spent three years with the mime Wolfram Mehring and makeup artist Grillon exploring myriad ways of seeing a single face. And she continued her most expressionistic work with diverse faces until her death, after which the photographs were published as En Votre Gravité, Visages(1966). .
