Edward Steichen at the Jeu de Paume
Photography buffs only have one more month to admire the works of the early 20th century American photographer Edward Steichen at the restrospective in the Jeu de Paume Museum.
| He started taking pictures at the age of 16 and quickly displayed his poetic sense of light and dark composition. He met Rodin in Paris and photographed him many times at work in his shop. Other greats would follow: Henri Matisse, Anatole France, Richard Strauss and George Bernard Shaw among many others. |
| Steichen composed each picture with immense care transforming photographs into true works of art. He ushered in what came to be known as the Pictorialist movement. |
| As head of photography for Vogue and Vanity Fair, he brought an Art Nouveau vision to magazine photography and, when in charge of photographic department of MOMA in New York, he organized the largest photographic exhibit of all times entitled “The Family of Man”.

| At the Jeu de Paume museum at Concorde until the 30th of December. Phone: 01-47-03-12-50 |
