Sabine Weiss
Center for Photography Lumiere Brothers, Moscow
Shots taken in France in the 1950s-80s and during the photographer's trips
In anticipation of Christmas Holidays he Lumiere Brothers Center for Photography and Lumiere Brothers Gallery present the solo exhibition of a Swiss-French photographer Sabine Weiss. The exhibition is arranged to coincide with Sabine Weiss' 90th anniversary that she celebrated this summer. Most of the pictures featured were taken in France in the 1950s-80s. This period was crucial for formation of Sabine's individual style. Apart from French photographs, The Center presents shots taken during the photographer's trips to Burma, Morocco, Portugal and Malta. All photographs are gelatin silver printed and are provided by the artist. Sabine Weiss ranges among the classics who transformed reportage photography into real art. Her humanistic approach with permanent focus on the man is evident. Nowadays Sabine Weiss is one of the few women in reportage photography whose art combines everyday poetry with sharp social observation. (Image: Paris, 1957)
