Programme
Bruno Barbey, Visions of the World 1964–2020
A major retrospective is dedicated to Bruno Barbey, highlighting his work during the second half of the 20th century with more than 200 prints.
Bruno Barbey holds a major place in the history of humanist photography and international photojournalism. A member of Magnum Photos since 1966, he travelled the world for more than fifty years, documenting the political, social, and cultural upheavals of his time. Very early on, he embraced colour as a language in its own right, subtly revealing the atmospheres, tensions, and poetry of reality.
200 ans de portraits
To mark the bicentenary of photography, this major portrait exhibition presents more than 300 images from the photography heritage collection (MPP). From Nadar to nowadays, dozen of photographers are honored through historic portraits and previously unseen works. A journey retracing 200 years of evolution and diversity in the art of portraiture.
