Exhibition Overview

Henri Cartier-Bresson and the Art and Photography of Paris

To celebrate the centenary of the birth of Henri Cartier-Bresson, the Art Institute will present, for the first time, a comparison of Cartier-Bresson’s photographs to the modern drawings, etchings, and paintings of his contemporaries—works that would otherwise be in storage in preparation for their installation in the Modern Wing.


Henri Cartier-Bresson. La Villette, Paris, 1929. Julien Levy Collection, Gift of Jean and Julien Levy.
