Artist

A. Salmon

A. Salmon is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

A. Salmon had a habit of slipping into the crowd at the Comédie-Française just to sketch the actresses backstage, no permission, no apology. That’s where he caught Mme Madeleine Brohan mid-laugh, the pencil lines catching the exact wobble of her scarf against the gas lamp. Look up that print and you’ll see why Parisians lined up to buy it: a face in motion, not posed for eternity.
