French Twist: Masterworks of Photography From Atget to Man Ray June 19, 2010

This groundbreaking exhibition features 90 rare vintage prints from the golden age of French photography, 1900-1940. From the lyrical architectural views of Eugene Atget to the Surrealist inventions of Man Ray and Dora Maar, from the boyish wonder of Jacques-Henri Lartigue to the twilight-inspired moodiness of Brassai, from the elegant still lifes of Andre Kertesz to the sophisticated street theater of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Ilse Bing, all major facets of French photography are surveyed and celebrated. This is a singular opportunity for those who appreciate photography to see these masterworks in one exhibition.
