Indissociable des transformations religieuses, politiques, scientifiques et sociales, de la libération progressive des mœurs et du besoin des photographes de s'exprimer librement, l'histoire de la photographie homoérotique et des représentations homosexuelles est riche aussi bien d'approches documentaires que des expressions artistiques les plus suggestives, les plus provocantes, les plus courageuses. Cette veine photographique a profité d'interférences variées avec, notamment, l'invention de la sexologie, la résurgence de la culture physique et du sport, les audaces littéraires et cinématographiques des temps modernes, de même qu'avec l'histoire de l'art qui lui a maintes fois servi de point d'appui ou de tr...

Communiqué de presse - Magnum Photos Gallery a le plaisir de vous présenter deux expositions majeures sur le thème de Paris. Sous l’angle de deux des plus grands photographes de l’agence Magnum, ces expositions dévoilent des différents points de vue de la ville.
C’est une histoire d’amour entre Herbert List et Paris, mais aussi l’histoire d’un exil. Dans cette exposition, dont le titre Paris Noir évoque le mystère, le photographe explore l’atmosphère parisienne de la n des années 1930, de jour et de nuit. Les endroits les plus chargés symboliquement de la ville de Paris sont transformés en sublimes compositions poétiques révélant des coins cachés et des détails souvent négligés. L’absence humaine ajoute un brin de dramatisme à c...
Press Release - A new exhibition of nearly 50 works at Atlas Gallery will explore how photographers responded to Surrealism over the course of over 50 years. The Psychic Lens: Surrealism and the camera, will include vintage photographs by well-known figures such as Man Ray, Andre Kertesz, Florence Henri and Bill Brandt alongside rarely seen works by artists such as Vaclav Zykmund, Franz Roh and Raoul Hausmann to tell the story of Surrealism through photography.
Surrealism was an avant-garde movement in art and literature beginning in the 1920s when artists began to experiment with ways of unleashing the subconscious imagination. Poet Andre Breton is credited with launching the movement in Paris in 1924. Over time the influence of the movement spread far and wide, as evidenced in the inclusion of collages by Japanese a...

Is a photograph a true-to-life reproduction of reality, or is it merely a staged image? This year – the 175th anniversary of the invention of photography – the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg responds to this question with a comprehensive survey of avant-garde photography between 1920 and 1950. The exhibition RealSurreal presents around 200 masterpieces from the eminent Siegert Collection in Munich. This collection, which has never been shown in its entirety, contains photographs from the Neues Sehen (‘New Vision&rs...
Si la représentation du corps masculin est souvent perçue comme érotique et associée à une sexualité, le corps a d’autres fonctions : objet d’étude scientifique ou esthétique, il est une force et un outil de travail, il s’exprime dans le sport et les arts, il peut être accidenté et même mort.
L’exposition propose un parcours à travers l’histoire de la photographie, de 1870 à 2000, et cherche à traiter de ces différentes thématiques tout en convoquant les plus grandes figures de ce médium.
Au XIXème siècle, les photographies de Gaudenzio Marconi et de Jean-Louis Igout, les études scientifiques d’Eadweard Muybridge, ou ethnographiques de Berthall, évoquent le corps masculin comme modèle dans l’atelier du peintre. Nageurs, lutteurs et ...
« En présentant des images inédites de ses débuts photographiques dans les années 30, cette exposition tente une approche inattendue du travail Herbert List. À l'époque où il commence à collaborer avec Magnum en 1952, son langage visuel est plutôt inspiré par la photographie humaniste, captant la vie des gens dans la rue, à leur travail, ou dans leur maison. Mais sa carrière a commencé avec d’autres préoccupations.
List est un jeune homme timide, presque introverti quand il rencontre Andreas Feininger en 1930 qui lui fait découvrir le Rolleiflex. Influencés par le Bauhaus et le Nouvel Objectivisme, ils parcourent souvent la ville la nuit à la recherche d’images. List est...
Herbert List was born in Hamburg in 1903. He was the son of a Hansa-town coffee importer. In 1921-23 he studied art and literature at the University of Heidelberg. In 1924, he joined “List and Heineken”, the family coffee business in Hamburg, and between 1925 and 1928 represented the firm in Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala and San Francisco.
List came back to the Hamburg head office in 1929, and it was in Hamburg that he met Andreas Feininger who was employed as artistic adviser to a Hamburg department store. At this time List’s photographic activities had largely been confined to photographic records of his South American travels, but he now began to develop a serious interest in photography, and from Feininger ha learned how to handle a reflex camera.
National Socialism was incompatible with List&rsq...
Herbert List nait en 1903 dans une famille de commerçants. Dans le cadre de sa formation au sein de l’entreprise paternelle d’importation de café, il entreprend des voyages dans les pays d’Amérique du Sud producteurs de café. Il a alors vingt ans et réalise ses premiers clichés à l’aide d’une chambre grand format. Encouragé par Andreas Feininger, élève au Bauhaus, il commence véritablement à photographier en 1930, et réalise des instantanés avec son Rolleiflex. La désertification de la vie culturelle en Allemagne et les « lois de Nuremberg » instaurées par le régime nationalsocialiste, qui font de lui un « juif de sang mêlé », l’inc...
With the title "Aspects of European Photography, circa 1930", the Jörg Maaß Gallery will show a selection of 55 black and white photographs displaying a wide overview of the various aspects of European photography from the middle of the 1920s to the end of the 1930s.
The main themes of the approximately 30 different photographers are; technology and science, "unusual points of view", advertising and portrait photography. The exhibition will include important representatives of the "Neues Sehen" and "Neue Sachlichkeit", as well as artists influenced by Surrealism.
In spite of the impressive similarities that become apparent when images by different photographers are juxtaposed, revealing time and again a common interest in the selection of subject matters, the exhib...
Following the Enzo Sellerio anthology, the Dolce & Gabbana Spazio Metropol opened its doors to the public again in May with a retrospective on Herbert List.
This exhibition is a result of collaboration with Magnum Photos, Contrasto and the Herbert List Estate, and focuses on the Mediterranean and its people, reread and re-interpreted with a German sensitivity that exalts the symbolic worth of the objects and people shown.
Herbert List was born in Hamburg in 1903 and died in Munich in 1975. He was a great photographer, an observant and curious traveller, a fine-art collector and a visionary poet who could construct pictures with perfect formal rigour and poignant beauty.
He travelled across Europe with his camera, devised enigmatic still life, met and portrayed the intellectuals of his day and, most of all, c...
Streetlife - Photographs from our collections 1930-1975
In addition to the Soulas exhibition 50 original photographs from our collections, titled "Streetlife" are on show. The selection documents a forty-year development of reportage photography.
During the Weimar Republic the first photo shots in public areas -on the streets- documenting focal pointsand events were done by Alfred Eisenstaedt or Tim Gidal. Outstanding photographers working for the illustrated magazines "Life" and "Stern", such as Jerry Cooke, Robert Lebeck, Stefan Moses and Thomas Hoepker continued in this tradition.
Again and again public streets became a stage for crucial contemporary historical happenings: so for example in the photo series, shot by Roman Vishniac of the Schtetln of Polish Jews, before their exp...
Throughout that period MAGNUM never ceased to supply photographs that have become part of the world’s collective memory – pictures of landmark events like the Russian army’s invasion of Prague in 1968 and the Tiananmen Square demonstrations in Beijing in 1989. The exhibition uses photographs, books and texts to illustrate the history of MAGNUM year by year and gives visitors the opportunity to view work by 83 photographers, such as Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Carl de Keyzer, Martin Parr, Susan Meiselas and Leonard Freed.
MAGNUM was established in 1947 by Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger and David Seymour. They were convinced that photography was the best medium with which to document world events and raise public awareness. And they succeeded – the way MAGNUM photographer...
