Small exposition at the Fondation henri-cartier Bresson with a retrospective of the Greenberg Collection.
An NY gallerist showing pieces of his collection.
the great things of these 2 small but nicely filled rooms is the difference of pictures displayed, from many photographs (mainly US, Abbott, Weegee, Airbus,...)
It is filled with portraits, composition, social and war pictures, some very famous, some not (well to my knowledge so I can guess you can say less famous than the aformetioned one but I digress).
My favorites of the bunch are the porytrait of Gloria Swanson, mesmerizing. and the following taken during the war.(Berlin in 45 red army marching in) plus one for my father, which he did like very much. (taken without a flash god I know it is not very good to take pics in an art gallery specially build with low lights but people doing it with flash AND sound... The nerve...Anyways...)
Very much an interesting look at the power of pictures (all in black and white). From the social colored ramp from the 40ies, to execution, walks in Paris, musicians, artists, workers, murders... with small sentences from the artists on their view of photography. Very good choice to sensibilize people to art pictures.
