At the beginning of World War II Maywald was initially detained and then fled successfully to Switzerland. In 1946 he came back to Paris. He helped Christian Dior’s New Look rise to fame; he became a fashion photographer for all major Haute Couture houses in Paris. The photographs Maywald took in prominent artist’s studios – Picasso and Léger among others – were put on display in galleries and reprinted in many magazines and books.

This retrospective of Maywald’s work also features his dance and architectural photographs as well as his travel reports and city portraits. An important master of 20th-century photography is about to be rediscovered and seen with fresh eyes
