  • The Photographer Sabine Weiss Chooses the Musée De L'elysée To
    The photographer Sabine Weiss chooses the Musée de l’Elysée to preserve her work and archives Announcement of June 12, 2017 Elysée Lausanne Press release Press release 12.06.2017 Elysée Lausanne 2/6 Sabine Weiss has entrusted her photographic work, the achievement of a lifetime, to the Musée de l’Elysée. The archives of the photographer, born in Switzerland in 1924, will integrate the Musée de l’Elysée’s collections as soon as it moves to PLATEFORME 10, by 2021. This donation was made possible thanks to the generous support of the Canton of Vaud through the SERAC. Sabine Weiss chose the Musée de l’Elysée, a Swiss public institution with solid expertise in the management of photographic heritage, to preserve and showcase her work and to make it available to a broad audience. "The donation of an archive of the content and scope of that of Sabine Weiss is a significant step in the strategy of the museum, which is based in particular on its expertise in the valorization of complete collections of Swiss and international photographers. It resonates with travel photography, which is very present in the collections, and other important names of women photographers like Ella Maillart, Gertrud Fehr, Henriette Grindat and Monique Jacot", underlines Tatyana Franck, Director. At PLATEFORME 10, the Musée de l’Elysée will benefit from extensive conservation and storage spaces, as well as modular exhibition spaces designed to regularly host projects to showcase its collections. A life devoted to photography Sabine Weiss is one of the great names in European photography. Born Sabine Weber in 1924 in Saint-Gingolph, the Swiss-born photographer did her apprenticeship with Paul Boissonnas in Geneva, before moving to Paris in 1946 where she was the assistant of Willy Maywald for four years.

  • Page 1 EYES WIDE OPEN: 100 YEARS of LEICA PHOTOGRAPHY
    EYES WIDE OPEN: 100 YEARS OF LEICA PHOTOGRAPHY OCTOBER 24, 2014 – JANUARY 11, 2015 DEICHTORHALLEN HAMBURG / HOUSE OF PHOTOGRAPHY The exhibition EYES WIDE OPEN: 100 YEARS OF LEICA PHOTOGRAPHY curated by Hans-Michael Koetzle, illuminates various aspects of recent small-format photography, from journalistic strategies to documentary approaches and free artistic positions, spanning fourteen chapters. Among the artists whose work will be shown are Alexander Rodchenko, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, Christer Strömholm, Robert Frank, Bruce Davidson, William Klein, William Eggleston, René Burri, Thomas Hoepker and Bruce Gilden. Following its premiere in the House of Photography at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg, the exhibition will travel to Berlin, Frankfurt and Vienna, among other locations. According to an entry in the workshop records, by March 1914 at the latest, Oskar Barnack, who worked as an industrial designer at Ernst Leitz in Wetzlar, completed the first functional model of a small-format camera for 35mm cinema film. The introduction of the Leica (a combination of »Leitz« and »Camera«) which was delayed until 1925 due to the war, was not merely the invention of a new camera; the small, reliable and always-ready Leica, equipped with a high-performance lens specially engineered by Max Berek, marked a paradigm shift in photography. Not only did it offer amateur photographers, newcomers and emancipated women greater access to photography; the Leica, which could be easily carried in a coat pocket, also became a ubiquitous part of everyday life. The comparatively affordable small-format camera stimulated photographic experimentation and opened up new perspectives. In general, visual strategies for representing the world became more innovative, bold and dynamic.

  • Robert Doisneau's La Dame Indignée
    21 | Ezra’s Archives Robert Doisneau’s La Dame Indignée: Modernity in the Fourth Republic Victoria Gao A woman stops and turns towards the window of a gallery, mouth agape as she gazes upon a painting of a nude woman provocatively presenting her backside to the viewer. The main figure of Robert Doisneau’s La Dame Indignée (Figure 1) is a middle-aged, dark-haired woman, fighting off the chilly weather with her thick coat, scarf, and hat. She completely faces the display window and stands with her feet firmly planted in the ground; her posture and direction indicate that her attention is entirely devoted to further examining the controversial painting. Behind her, another woman, walking just quickly enough for her image to blur, spares a glance in the store window’s direction, perhaps in an attempt to discover the source of the other woman’s comically dramatic expression. The visual elements combine with the historical background of Doisneau’s La Dame Indignée to group it with a category of photography known as humanistic reportage. In that vein the image promotes the rights of the working class, the photographer as a twentieth-century Baudelairean flâneur, and the shifting role of women in society. Representing this variety of themes, La Dame Indignée acts as an icon of French modernity in the Fourth Republic. La Dame Indignée and Historical Context Born in the suburbs of Paris in 1912 to a petit-bourgeois family involved in the plumbing business, Robert Doisneau survived two great world wars and empathized with the lower classes throughout the Robert Doisneau’s La Dame Indignée | 22 entirety of his life.1 Doisneau began his career in the arts as a lithographer-engraver and lettering artist and did not move into photography until he found a position at the advertising firm Atelier Ullmann.2 From that point he turned solely to photography as a profession, gaining greater technical skills and aesthetic judgments as he continued working in advertisement.

    Kering steps up its commitment to supporting women photographers with its Women In Motion program In partnership with Les Rencontres d’Arles, the 2020 Women In Motion Award for photography has been given to Sabine Weiss. The first Women In Motion LAB to be launched in association with Les Rencontres d’Arles highlighted the contribution made by women to the global history of photography. The project, led by women historians Luce Lebart and Marie Robert drew on research carried out by 160 women experts in photography from around the world. Kering supports the digital version of Paths Elles X Paris Photo Press release – November 5, 2020 Despite the cancellation of ‘Les Rencontres d’Arles at Laennec’, due to the current health restrictions, Kering and Les Rencontres d’Arles were determined to go ahead with the second edition of the Women In Motion Award for photography. With November being traditionally dedicated to photography, they are now delighted to present the 2020 Women In Motion Award to the outstanding photographer Sabine Weiss for her life’s work. Still active today, Sabine Weiss is a prolific artist who has made a major contribution to the humanist school of French photography, which includes the likes of Robert Doisneau, Willy Ronis and Brassaï. At the age of 96, she has probably enjoyed the longest career of any photographer, having devoted nearly 80 years to her art (see her biography below). In March 2019, Kering and Les Rencontres d’Arles announced their partnership agreement and launched the Women In Motion program at Arles. This led to the creation of the Women In Motion Award for photography, to be held every year in recognition of the career of an exceptional woman photographer.

  • Opening Reception: Friday, April 6, 6-8 P.M
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Four French Photographers April 6-May 26, 2018 | Opening Reception: Friday, April 6, 6-8 p.m. Tracey Morgan Gallery is pleased to present Four French Photographers, a group exhibition which is a look through the eyes of four master photographers: Edouard Boubat, Robert Doisneau, Bernard Plossu, and Philippe Salaün, who all poignantly capture the fleeting, magical moments of humanity -the beauty amidst the chaos. Edouard Boubat (b. 1923–1999) was born in Paris and is known as France's most famous romantic photographer. As the son of an army chef, he heard many tales of the Great War, and as a result he chose to bear witness to the light and beauty in life, not the dark. Because I know war… because I know the horror, I don’t want to add to it.… After the war, we felt the need to celebrate life, and for me photogra- phy was the means to achieve this. His 50 year career began after he studied typography and graphic arts. After graduating he exhibited his first professional photograph at the Salon International de la Photographie and was awarded the Kodak Prize. He then began work as a photojournalist, where his assignments often took him to poor and desolate regions, but Boubat still managed to capture only love and beauty. Considered an heir of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s “decisive moment” photography, Boubat’s remarkable instincts brought the emotion and beauty of life to our gaze. Public collections that hold his work include Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, Paris, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and The Minneapolis Institute of Art, among others.
