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. -

PHOTOACTIVISM: POLITICAL ICONOGRAPHY IN FRANCE, 1944-1968 Nir Avissar Tel Aviv, Israel Master of Arts, Tel Aviv University, 2008 Bachelor of Arts. Tel Aviv University, 2005 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia July, 2016 © 2016 Nir Avissar Abstract The aim of this dissertation is to provide a critical history of French reportage photography in the decades following the Second World War, beginning with the Liberation in 1944 and ending in May ’68. During the Trente Glorieuses, reportage photography became an integral part of the media, which operated as the central platform for engaging the public in political discourse. My research explores how, during this era of mass communication, the photographic medium participated in the nation’s political life in concrete historical circumstances. In the course of this investigation, I inspect both the material, thematic, and formal strategies photographers employed to produce images in different political contexts, and the publication history of their works (who published their images, in what format, and for what purposes). The dissertation thus examines the role reportage photography played in promoting political discourse in France by visually engaging the most critical historical processes the nation was undergoing: modernization, democratization, and decolonization. At the same time, it also analyzes the reciprocal impact that changing political climate had on reportage photography. Specifically, it provides an historical account of the multiple causes that effected during the 1960s the displacement of humanist photography by photojournalism as the medium’s prominent current. -
Press Release
DINA MITRANI GALLERY FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Willy Ronis, Les Amoureaux de la Bastille, Paris, 1957 Willy Ronis: Paris In collaboration with Peter Fetterman Gallery November 10 – January 11, 2013 Reception and Book Signing with Peter Fetterman Monday, December 3, 2012, 7pm Dina Mitrani Gallery is proud to present Willy Ronis: Paris in collaboration with Peter Fetterman Gallery, Santa Monica, California. This exhibition includes some of the artist’s most celebrated images, which capture the simple pleasures of everyday life in Paris during the 1930s, 40s and 50s. His photographs are poetic, light-hearted, humor-filled, and full of compassion as they capture the delight of French "joie de vivre." Willy Ronis was born in Paris in 1910, the son of immigrants from Russia and Lithuania and lived to be 99 years old. As a young boy, he worked with his father in the family portrait studio and studied piano with his mother. His love of music as well as his early photography work developed his sense of composition. Ronis later claimed to find a resemblance between music and photography in "the taste I have for composition, particularly counterpoint. Many of my photographs are taken from above, either looking down or up, three planes in one image, like three different melodies in a fugue which work together to give the piece structure and harmony." After his father’s death in 1936, Ronis joined the photo agency Rapho and worked alongside well-known photographers such as Cartier-Bresson, Brassaï and Robert Doisneau. Like his colleagues, he wandered the streets of Paris, open to serendipity, chance and luck. -

Press Release – November 5, 2020
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. -
Sabine Weiss's World
PRESS KIT SABINE WEISS’S WORLD MAY 18 – JULY 30, 2016 From Wednesday to Saturday, 2-7 pm and by appointement Opening on May, 17, 6-9 pm ©Sabine Weiss / Courtesy Les Douches la Galerie, Paris We are pleased to invite you to our very first solo exhibit dedicated to Sabine Weiss. It would indeed be presumptuous of us to claim to be presenting an exhaustive portrait of her work, which has continued to grow and expand since 1942. She takes on all genres without privileging any. Furthermore, we’ve taken pains to focus on lesser-known facets of her personality. We’ve even taken a guilty pleasure in going off the beaten path to places you’d hardly expect. Of course children are one of her favorite subjects to photograph… but there are many more. She never places more importance on the anecdotal than on sensations themselves, “ones that capture the expression of feelings”. She does not recoil at the label “humanist photographer”, but she does believe that it is too narrow for her work. All the more so because the tradition of humanist photography has had no influence whatsoever on her outlook. The only thing that has sparked her interest and nourished her throughout the years is painting. We’re sure you’ll agree that this unclassifiable and fiercely independent woman, Sabine Weiss, is a fascinating subject for our exhibit. Contact: Françoise Morin +331 78 94 03 00 – [email protected] Sabine Weiss is not a photographer. In any case, Sabine Weiss is not a photographer whom we can easily class among French humanist photographers and then wash our hands, as if everything were said and done. -

Propriété intellectuelle Regard sur la France 1 Regard sur la France Edward Steichen entre Paris et New York Kristen Gresh 1 En 1929, la création du Museum of Modern Art de New York (MoMA) répondait à la volonté d’exposer des œuvres d’avant-garde visant à mettre en valeur le travail des artistes contemporains. Dans cette perspective, le MoMA devient un lieu prestigieux de diffusion de la photographie du XXe siècle. Edward Steichen (1879-1973), nommé conservateur pour la photographie en 1947, donne à la photographie française une place particulière qui le distingue de son prédécesseur, Beaumont Newhall, puisant ses sources d’inspiration lors de ses nombreux voyages en France. Cette politique originale mérite d’être analysée au regard des relations transatlantiques puisque Steichen a joué un rôle de médiation essentiel entre la France et les États-Unis. 2 Lorsque Steichen arrive au MoMA, il se distingue de Newhall qui se concentrait davantage sur la reconnaissance artistique du médium. -
