HCB at the BNF in Paris

[nightlight]

For those in/visiting Paris who have not seen the HCB expo yet at the BNF (National Library), it's well worth a detour, a series of 5 galleries of HCB photos (amongst others curated by Annie Leibovitz and Wim Wenders).

The link is in French but the actual expo itself is in both English and French.


And while you're there, try to catch this expo as well:

Hi,
been lucky to go to the HCB expo at the BNF, which I agree is well worth the visit.

Yet, I found the "Revoir Paris" HCB expo currently held at the Paris Musée Carnavalet even better with quite a few less known photos, some of HCB's own prints and showing Atget's influence .

Currently the Paris based Cartier Bresson foundation has an Atget expo:

Best, JM.

Hi JM,


Thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to drop by the Carnavalet if I manage another trip to Paris before the end of the summer. Gutted I missed it when I was there.

You're welcome, it's worth another trip to Paris !
