Philippe Halsman Astonish Me! at the Jeu de Paume
One
of the greatest photographers of the 20th century, Philippe Halsman began his career in Paris alongside contemporaries such as Dali
and Man Ray. He moved to New York in 1940 to flee the Occupation. In New York he photographed for Life Magazine (where he holds
the record of 101 covers), shooting some of the greatest stars and
personalities of his time. This retrospective
show includes 300 exclusive images and original documents (contact sheets
and prints, preliminary proofs, original photo-montages)
that show not just the finished photos but the
avant-garde techniques Halsman perfected to do his work. Through January 24, open Tues 11am-9pm, Wed-Sun 11am-7pm. Entry €10. There is a free smartphone app for the exhibition.
