Léandre Grandmoulin

Léandre Grandmoulin is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Léandre Grandmoulin spent his days in Brussels cafés, sketching the faces around him between sips of coffee. He captured people exactly as they were, no flattery, just the tilt of a hat or the weariness in a waitress’s eyes. His photographs feel alive because he shot them fast, like a painter with a brush.

If you like the raw edges of 1950s street life, look up his Untitled series; you’ll find a woman adjusting her stockings in a dim diner, or a man asleep at a table, no drama, just truth.
