Voici Paris
Centre Pompidou, Paris
Photographic Modernities, 1920-1950
Photographic Modernities, 1920-1950. An exhibition dedicates to one of the major acquisitions of the last few years: the Christian Bouqueret photography collection, which entered the Centre Pompidou's collections in 2011. With a selection of some 300 images from this exceptional set, it offers a panorama of creative photography in France between the two World Wars, in all its diversity. With works by Man Ray, Kertesz, Dora Maar, Krull, Brassai but also Moral, Steiner and Zuber, Voici Paris tells this story, which starts with Man Ray's photographic experiments and the emergence of surrealism, continues with political and social considerations, and opens onto the advent of the illustrated press. The exhibition thus presents to the visitors the currents that make up the visual trends of the 1920s-1950s by highlighting the scope and diversity of the fields covered by the photographers, who came from diverse backgrounds: avant-gardists, reporters, illustrators, commercial photographers...
