"Catalogue Raisonn\u00E9 of the Photographs by Maurice Denis (1896-1919)" . . . "The doctoral thesis consists of compiling a catalogue raisonn\u00E9 of the photographs by the French symbolist Nabis painter Maurice Denis (1870-1943). We have reassembled, inventoried and analyzed 1250 negatives and 2689 silver prints. Denis\u2019s photographs are an enormously rich resource that will help us to understand more thoroughly the role and characteristics of his art as well as its context. The scope of this study is the period from 1896 to 1919. Like his friends in the Nabis group, Denis mainly used a Kodak camera. The compact portable box camera made photography accessible not only to artists and professionals but also to amateur photographers. This dissertation analyzes his amateur photographs in relation to his paintings. The comparison with other post-Impressionist painters who also took family photos, such as Bonnard, Vuillard, Breitner enables us to situate Denis in the history of photography. We will examine in depth the aesthetics of his photographs and the fascinating and strong affinities they have with his paintings and drawings. His photos reflect the taste for symbols, simplified forms and harmonious lines that is characteristic of his paintings. He used the camera in a variety of ways: as an amusing toy and to create images as studies for final art works. His photos were not only a compositional aid to his paintings, however, and as we will argue they reflect many of his pictorial influences. Thanks to his familiarity with Japanese prints, he became one of the most gracious interpreters of the aesthetics of snapshot photography. This study of his photographs will contribute to the full comprehension of his art in the context of his time in a new and broader way." . "2009" . . . "Ce manuscrit de th\u00E8se pr\u00E9sente un catalogue raisonn\u00E9 des photographies du peintre Maurice Denis (1870-1943). Cette \u00E9tude regroupe la production photographique qui s\u2019\u00E9tend de 1896 \u00E0 1919, l\u2019ann\u00E9e du d\u00E9c\u00E8s de son \u00E9pouse Marthe. Le fonds photographique comprend 2689 tirages anciens et 1250 n\u00E9gatifs. Nous avons \u00E9tabli tout l\u2019inventaire des archives photographiques de Maurice Denis, avec une datation rigoureuse des images et une identification pouss\u00E9e de leur sujet gr\u00E2ce au concours de Claire Denis, laquelle pr\u00E9pare le catalogue raisonn\u00E9 de toute l\u2019\u0153uvre de son grand-p\u00E8re. Gr\u00E2ce \u00E0 l\u2019invention de l\u2019appareil Kodak par l\u2019entreprise fond\u00E9e par George Eastman en 1888, la photographie devient accessible \u00E0 tous. Comme ses amis peintres, Maurice Denis utilise un appareil Kodak. Par leur familiarit\u00E9 avec l\u2019estampe japonaise, Maurice Denis et ses amis se sont fait interpr\u00E8tes de l\u2019esth\u00E9tique de l\u2019instantan\u00E9. Les photographies de famille de Denis sont \u00E0 ce titre mises en rapport avec celles des peintres Nabis (Vuillard, Bonnard), ou encore celles du hollandais Breitner et du belge Evenepoel. Au-del\u00E0 des rapports entre la peinture et la photographie, le cas de Maurice Denis impose de consid\u00E9rer dans le prolongement des travaux r\u00E9cents sur la photographie, comme recherche sentimentale, la question de la pratique photographique comme catalyseur de rem\u00E9moration." . .
