Jean-Marie Donat

Jean-Marie Donat has worked in publishing for thirty years. He contributed to the Italian review Frigidaire at the beginning of the 1980s, was the studio manager and artistic director of Sarbacane Design for fifteen years, and participated in 2003 in launching Editions Sarbacane. With Alexandre Mestcherino, he created the Patate Records label, specialising in reissuing works by Jamaican artists. He now manages his own publishing company, AllRight. Donat is also an informed collector of photographs, which he has been gathering, for more than twenty-five years, during his journeys in Europe and the United States. The collection revolves around a powerful idea, that of providing a singular interpretation of the century.
