THE UNIVERSE OF JOAN BROSSA









Joan Brossa (1919–1998) was a Catalan poet, playwright and artist. I post a few photos I made which freely interpret objects appearing in his visual poems.

LES FEUILLES MORTES





Photos taken in the park La Devesa in Girona (Catalonia, Spain)

Les feuilles mortes (literally, The Dead Leaves) is  a song with music by Joseph Kosma and lyrics by Jacques Prévert. Many famous singers have interpreted it, and under the name Autumn Leaves it became a jazz standard.

You may enjoy the versions by Yves Montand and by Chet Baker and Paul Desmond and their band.

Both the post title and the inspiration for the photo are to be found in Untitled Film Still No.5 (1978), one of the many self-portraits made by the great photographer Cindy Sherman.
