PARIS, FRANCE.- Bibliothèque nationale de France, Site Richelieu presents Humanist Photography (1945-1968). Izis, Boubat, Brassaï, Doisneau, Ronis and others, on view through January 28, 2007. In addition to original prints by famous photographers (including Doisneau, Ronis, Cartier-Bresson, Boubat and Izis), this exposition presents photos by lesser-known but equally prolific and talented artists who were also representative of the humanist movement, in particular Marcel Bovis, René-Jacques, Jean Dieuzaide, Janine Niepce, Sabine Weiss, Jean Marquis, Jean-Philippe Charbonnier, Léon Herschtritt, Eric Schwab and André Papillon.
These humanist photographers created imagery with a strong national feel, thanks to picturesque settings and social archetypes, but they also explored the realities of the era: the misery of impoverished suburbs, the housing crisis, international magazines that broadened people's horizons, etc.
Curators : Laure Beaumont-Maillet (chief curator); Dominique Versavel (department curator; head of the photography collections for 1930-1960); Françoise Denoyelle, historian and professor at the école Nationale Supérieure Louis-Lumière. Catalogue published by the BnF.
