Qu'est-ce qui définit le photographe si ce n'est son oeil ? Les 75 artistes du livre « Visionnaire : les plus grands photographes » ont en commun le fait d'avoir réussi à capter un monde en train de changer radicalement. Et si ce n'était pas un mais différents regards croisés sur leur environnement ? Regarder dans plusieurs directions à la fois. C'est ce qui fît leur talent.
« Qui est capable d'anticipation, qui a l'intuition de l'avenir » : c'est en ces termes que le dictionnaire Larousse définit le terme « visionnaire ». Effectivement, visionnaires, ces 75 photographes l'étaient tous. Il faut être extrêmement lucide, ...

Lewis Hine (1874-1940), assistant social et réformateur, s’engagea dans la photographie pour attirer l’attention de l’opinion publique sur l’injustice sociale et exiger un changement radical
Célèbre de son vivant, il considérait son travail à la fois comme un compte rendu du présent et comme un témoignage historique pour l’avenir
Ses images, qui célèbrent la dignité des travailleurs dans le monde moderne, firent de lui l’incarnation des valeurs américaines

Communiqué presse
En écho au Festival de l’histoire de l’art 2017, qui a mis cette année à l’honneur les États-Unis, le musée d’Orsay présente dans son accrochage estival de photographies une cinquantaine de pièces américaines sélectionnées dans ses collections.
La création en 1978 du musée d’Orsay, premier musée d’art en France à avoir mené une politique d’acquisition et d’exposition dans le domaine de la photographie ancienne, s’inscrit dans les prémices de l’ouverture à la photographie du champ culturel et artistique hexagonal. Quarante ans plus tôt, celle-ci avait commencé à pénétrer les mus&eac...
Photographer Lewis Hine (1874–1940) saw his work as both art and a tool for social change. Beginning in 1905 he photographed immigrants at Ellis Island, hoping his sympathetic images would combat xenophobia. His interest in the lives of working class Americans led him to photograph immigrant steel workers and subsequently join the crusade against child labor. He smuggled his camera into textile mills and glassworks, capturing sobering images of kids at work that eventually led to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. In the 1920s and 1930s, Hine turned his lens to the positive experiences of laborers, producing photographs that depicted skilled workers collaborating with modern machines. This determination to reveal the strength and dignity of people that many Americans viewed with scorn would characterize his phot...

This exhibition bears witness to the photographer’s tireless efforts towards creating a more just world.
The work of American photographer and sociologist Lewis Hine (1874–1940) called for a better world. Hine was adamant in his wish that Americans become aware of the injustice in their nation’s legal system. A firm believer that every human being deserved full respect, Hine saw photography as the best tool to make this both visible and compelling. To fulfill his mission, Lewis Hine traveled 75,000 km throughout the United States for organizations such as the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC), taking photographs of children at work in agriculture, in mines, industrial factories, garment factories, and on the streets. His images not only contributed to a new awareness and the first reforms ag...

La nouvelle exposition de la Fondation Cartier-Bresson revient sur l'oeuvre de Lewis Hine (1874-1940), un pionnier de la photographie documentaire et sociale connu notamment pour ses photos des travailleurs de l'Empire State Building. Dans les première décennies du XXème siècle, l'heure est plutôt au pictorialisme, mouvement porté par Stieglitz aux Etats-Unis, qui vise à faire reconnaître la photographie comme un art. Mais «la qualité des tirages, exposer en galerie, ça n'était pas le propos de Hine,» nous rappelle Agnès Sire, directrice de la fondation Cartier-Bresson ; «son but était de dénoncer certaines conditions de vie et de travail, comme le travail des enfants. Sa photographie est d...
