Elliot Erwitt
A retrospective
Commun curation from Tempora : Isabelle Benoit, Élie Barnavi, Peter Logan, Benoit Remiche
An exhibition conceived and created by Tempora in close collaboration with Magnum Photos and the Musée Maillol.
The exhibition “Elliott Erwitt. A Retrospective” is a tribute to one of the most important photographers of the 20th century, who has been a member of Magnum Photos since 1954.
The exhibition presents his work through a collection of 215 black and white and color photographs.
An American photographer of European descent, Elliott Erwitt is a multi-faceted artist: he’s at the same time a painter of intimacy, a photojournalist, a commercial photographer, a film director, and a portrait photographer of famous personalities such as Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Kennedy, Charles de Gaulle, Ernesto “Che” Guevara, Alfred Hitchcock, Nikita Khrushchev…
The exhibition highlights the diversity of themes depicted by the photographer as well as the unity of his style. He captures moments of everyday life with a perspective that belongs only to him and combines humor and emotion.
Visitors will experience an exceptional scenography thanks to which they will discover the photographer’s unique sensitivity, especially with his color pictures.
Take a look behind the scenes of the photographer’s work with the “Fabrique” (Factory) area, where the furniture and objects displayed are intended to recreate the atmosphere of his studio in New York.
