The House of Rosalie, the title of this publication, is borrowed from a small sculpture by Valentine Schlegel from 1959 representing her childhood friend Agns Varda pregnant, from Rosalie. And it is Rosalie herself who, in 2020, made this loan to bring together here some works by Agnes and Valentine who still intertwine at her place, as their lives as artists intermingled in Sète, rue Daguerre or elsewhere. Valentine Schlegel: Born in Sète in 1925, Valentine Schlegel lives in Paris. Valentine Schlegel trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Montpellier before moving to Paris to devote herself to ceramics. The artist sees her works as full sculptures directly inspired by nature. Her ceramics in both primitive and sophisticated forms make Valentine Schlegel one of the most important ceramicists of the 1950s. Agnès Varda: Born in Belgium in 1928, Agnès Varda died in 2019 in Paris. Having started in the 1950s as a photographer for the Avignon Festival and the National Popular Theater, Agnès Varda became, after her first film La Pointe Courte, in 1954, one of the most internationally recognized French directors, a pioneer of the New Wave. In 2003 at the Venice Biennale began her life as a visual artist. Her work combines, alternates and spoils her vision and practice of photography, cinema, video and space.

"A visual tribute to Agnès Varda's three lives as a photographer, filmmaker and artist, with previously unseen archival materials, texts and personal reflections from Jane Birkin, Martin Scorsese, JR, and more. French filmmaker Agnès Varda was a trailblazer who broke new artistic and cinematic ground for nearly seven decades. Although closely associated with the French New Wave, Varda established her groundbreaking visual style in her 1955 debut film La Pointe Courte, well before other milestones such as François Truffaut's The !àà Blows and Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless. Varda impacted cinema from her first feature film through her final works, with an expansive oeuvre that includes Cleo from # to à (1962), Vagabond (1985) and the Academy Award-nominated Faces Places (2017). Agnès Varda: Director's Inspiration presents the first English-language visual showcase for Varda's inspirations, art and personal life, incorporating original materials from her personal archive on Rue daguerre. The book covers Varda's "three lives"-as photographer, filmmaker and visual artist-and features a previously unpublished interview Varda gave to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on the eve of receiving her Honorary Oscar in 2017. Essays by author Sasha Archibald and film critic Peter Debruge examine facets of Varda's creative lives, and personal reflections by friends and colleagues illustrate what it was like to collaborate with and be inspired by Varda. Agnès Varda (1928-2019) was a French filmmaker, photographer and visual artist, sometimes called the grandmother of the French New Wave. In 2018, her film with the French photographer and muralist known as JR, Faces Places, received an Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary Feature, and that same year she received an honorary Academy Award for lifetime achievement"--
