Ernst Haas’ Abstract project represents one of the boldest and m… more
Exhibition organized as part of the partnership between
the CPGA, the Centre Pompidou and the Association André Breton.
2024 will mark the centenary of one of the most fascinating and influential artistic
movements of the 20th century. A hundred years ago, indeed, André
Breton published the Surrealist Manifesto. The Centre Pompidou, which is
preparing to celebrate this anniversary with a major exhibition, "Le
Surréalisme d’abord et toujours"", has launched a call for projects - "A Surrea… more "Revolving Doors" is a series of works created by Man Ray early in his career in the
United States around 1916-1917, before he moved to Paris in 1921 and became a
central figure in the Dada and Surrealist movements.
This series accompanied Man Ray throughout his long career: initially created as
a series of colored paper collages around 1916, it was exhibited in New York at the
Daniel Gallery in 1919 and later featured in the 1935 edition of the Surrealist magazine
Minotaure. The series was rep… more Ahead of the retrospective Libres expressions, dedicated to Jean-Claude Gautrand by the Musée Réattu in Arles this summer (June 29-October 6), Les Douches la Galerie is pleased to present, for the first time, a solo show dedicated to French photographer Jean-Claude Gautrand (1932-2019).

Both chose the street as their field of action and had a deep empathy for the passers-by they photographed. One of them, Sabine Weiss, was born in Switzerland but became a naturalized French citizen. The other, Vivian Maier, is American, but her mother was of French origin, from the Champsaur region in the Alps. One became a professional photographer. The other spent a long time looking after children whi… more Belleville, Ménilmontant, Place De La République
Since 2010, Thomas Boivin has been pursuing his photographic work in the northeast of Paris, wandering around his home, strolling the streets, always favoring beautiful light. Portraits of passersby or residents he meets in multicultural neighborhoods and with whom he often establishes a dialogue, urban landscapes that bring out neglected corners, and his own black and white prints, with their subtly balanced shades of gray, have become his signature. Embracing the Paris of Brassai, Marcel Bo… more  (1927-2023)Marvin E. Newman, who passed away on September 13, 2023, photographed everything from street
photography to advertising and sports commissions, nightlife and fashion. Les Douches la Galerie,
which had the pleasure of presenting his first solo show in France, in 2018, wanted to pay tribute to
him, a few months after his death, with this exhibition of photographs taken in color, mainly in New
York.
This city, where he was born in 1927, was undoubtedly one of his favorite playgrounds, along with

Les Douches la Galerie is pleased to present, for the first time this Fall, a solo show by Roger Ballen, including his early series from the 80s and 90s. Roger Ballen was born in New York in 1950, but has lived and worked in Johannesburg, South Africa since 1982. After working in mineral exploration, he took his camera to dig into the layers of his own inner life and pierce the external surface of a poor and deeply rural country.
With the Dorps series (small dormitory towns) which he begun… more Photographies surréalistesOf Plants: Experimental PrintsBerenice Abbott, Tom Arndt, Thierry Balanger, John Baldessari, Denise Bellon, Pierre Boucher, Sébastien Catherineau, Jean-Philippe Haas, Sid Kaplan, François Kollar, Germaine Krull, Jacques-Henri Lartigue, Ray K.

Newman, Vivian Maier, Tom Arndt and Carlos Javier Ortiz – cover the period from 1940 to the present. None of them has followed the same path and none have the same way of looking at things. Each one presents us with a different image of the African-American community that had come to Chicago from the Deep South with the hope of greater freedom and better jobs.

Belonging to the grand, classic tradition of American documentary photography, Tom Arndt’s body of work offers us a sensitive, empathetic portrayal: a family album of the people who live in his state including their coffee shops and soda fountains, their streets, their shop windows, their parks, the popular state fa… moreAccidents - Une balade à travers les procédés photographiques We are proud to present the first Vivian Maier solo show in Paris. Unknown in her lifetime, she leaves an outstanding body of work composed of more than 100,000 negatives and undeveloped roll films. Vivian Maier photographied tirelessly the streets of New York and Chicago in the 50s and 60s period, focusing on human beings in the city in precisely framed black and white photographs with striking personality. Various self-portraits suggest the mystery of a woman who gave her life to photography. … more |
