Édouard Boubat, Carnets d'Amérique

As part of the Bicentenary of Photography, La Galerie Rouge will highlight Édouard Boubat, one of the greatest representatives of post-war French humanist photography. The exhibition will present exclusively photographs taken during his travels in the United States from 1953 to 1986. Between reportage, documentary and social photography and humanist work, this exhibition offers a reinterpretation of the work of Edouard Boubat.

His photographs of the United States reveal a committed photographer, in touch with the issues of his time and who sought to grasp with humanity and poetry the injustices and contradictions of American society.

A selection of some thirty vintage silver prints, as well as access to unpublished archives (contact sheets, correspondence, travel diaries) will allow us to grasp this unknown aspect of his work.
