« Modernisme et Modernité » : Un livre et une exposition au Petit Palais pour partir à la rencontre du cercle de Le Gray
Une exposition à la (re)découverte de photographes en avance sur leur temps
Gustave Le Gray (1802-1884), est le plus important photographe du Second Empire. L'exposition qui lui est consacrée ne lui est néanmoins pas entièrement dédiée. En effet, celle-ci s'attarde longuement sur les photographes qui ont constitué son cercle, qu'ils aient été ses élèves ou plus simplement, ses amis.

A New View of Architectural Photography from the National Museums in Berlin
The Art Library is reopening its newly reconstructed Kaisersaal (Emperor's Hall) at the Museum of Photography with a show of hidden treasures of architectural photography from the collections of the National Museums. Nearly all of the individual museums have acquired since some 150 years photographs. The genre of architectural photography is especially prominent represented. It was collected for the purpose of documenting ethnological and archeological expeditions, to archive architectural monuments or as an art form in its own right. An impressive panorama of the most diverse architectural motifs unfolds, ranging from the beginnings of photography to today: to mention but a few, there are images of bamboo huts from the Ethnological Museum, of temples from the Egyptian Museum, of Indian mosques from the Museum of Asian A...
