Considered to be one of the fathers of photography, William Klein (New York, 1928) revolutionized the visual photographic language. This exhi- bition, coinciding with the celebration of his 90th year, is the first great retrospective dedicated to Klein in our country. The monographic exhi- bit Manifesto puts his photographic work in dialogue with his paintings, works on paper and cinematographic pieces to render a comprehensi- ve representation of the artist.

The aesthetic of William Klein speaks to us of a century in movement, a century of changes, creations and revolutions. There is a constant ele- ment throughout his work, from his first paintings as a student of Fer- nand Léger, to the abstract experiments in the early 1950s, the street photography and books, and even film: which is the use of the line that connects and gives structure, that bursts and runs. Urban geometry and human geometry. Always at the center, near his subject to capture the best lines of tension, Klein created during the 1950s great series of images in the heart of New York —then Rome, Moscow and Tokyo— that today are emblematic in the history of photography.
