This groundbreaking exhibition features 90 rare vintage prints from the golden age of French photography, 1900-1940. From the lyrical architectural views of Eugène Atget to the Surrealist inventions of Man Ray and Dora Maar, from the boyish wonder of Jacques-Henri Lartigue to the twilight-inspired moodiness of Brassaï, from the elegant still lifes of André Kertész to the sophisticated street theater of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Ilse Bing, all major facets of French photography are surveyed and celebrated. This is a singular opportunity for those who appreciate photography to see these masterworks in one exhibition.
All works are from the collection of Michael Mattis and Judith Hochberg._This exhibition was organized by art2art Circulating Exhibitions.
