André

Soares Aldo (1960- u2026.) — Porto (Portugal), 1960

Description

Un homme est assis sur le perron d'une maison. A ses pieds un teckel. Si l'homme regarde le photographe, le regard du chien est dirigé sur la droite, vers le ciel. L'environnement, plutôt en mauvais état, laisse voir des murs décrépis et tagués, des sacs poubelle, un cubi de vin, des balais et une pelle. L'homme, barbu, une cigarette dans la main gauche, esquisse un sourire. Dans son regard, Soares a su capter une grande mélancolie et peut-être, aussi, un certain désabusement face aux aléas de la vie.
