Jeu de Paume presents the largest exhibition devoted to photographer Frank Horvat since his death on 21 October 2020. Through one-hundred-and-seventy prints and seventy archival documents, Frank Horvat. Paris, the World and Fashion focuses on the first fifteen years of a remarkable career.
Between 1950 and 1965, Horvat forged a unique identity as an author-reporter and fashion photographer. The exhibition affords a new perspective on the work of this leading figure of French and European photography.
Created from the archives left by the photographer in his studio-home in Boulogne-Billancourt, the exhibition features one-hundred-and-seventy prints and seventy archival documents (publications, writings, books, contact sheets). Alongside his iconic images, it presents ensembles of lesser-known and unknown photographs. All the richness and singularity of a complex and multifaceted body of work are revealed here, positioned within the context of the history of the photographic image and the post-war illustrated press.
