Georges Thiry, friend of the surrealists
Georges Thiry (1904-1994), a native of Liège, was a self-taught photographer, a great friend of the Surrealists and the subject, in 2001, of a retrospective in the Museum of Photography in Charleroi. Georges Thiry took photos of, amongst many others, his confidantes and prostitute girlfriends. These magnificent images in black and white, where humour and tenderness are always present, give the portraits an exceptional dimension of humanity.
