Henri Cartier-Bresson in America: photography exhibition at the Lu.C.C.A.

At the Lu.C.C.A. - Lucca Center of Contemporary Art you can visit until Nov. 11, 2018 the photography exhibition"Henri Cartier-Bresson. In America," which displays 101 black-and-white shots taken by the Parisian photographer in the United States from the mid-1930s to the late 1960s.

Images that show the public the American life of that period, highlighting the diversity of the rich American society.

The exhibition is curated by Maurizio Vanni who said, “Cartier-Bresson sets his gaze on the quintessential consumer society and its ephemeral world by juxtaposing his timeless, durable and solid art with the fragility and transience of a community that has lost the true meaning of existence. The pursuit of a utopian model of life, devoted to excess, to dreams, to greatness, to the breaking of conventions, to technology turns out to be closer to fiction than to reality, which is thus manifested in all its banality, despair and rawness.”

The exhibition is organized in collaboration with Magnum Photos and Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson with support from MVIVA.
