From the lyrical architectural views of Atget to the Surrealist inventions of Man Ray and Dora Maar, from the boyish wonder of Lartigue to the crepuscular moodiness of Brassaï, from the elegant still lifes of Kertész to the sophisticated street theater of Cartier-Bresson and Ilse Bing, all major facets of French photography are surveyed and celebrated. |

| Disfarmer: The Vintage Prints |
 |
|
Disfarmer: The Vintage Prints is the first museum exhibition presenting the vintage photographs of Mike Disfarmer (1884-1959), one of America's greatest portraitists.
Disfarmer is often compared to Walker Evans for his powerfully rendered Depression-era Southern subjects, and to August Sander for his rendering of “people without masks.” In turn, Richard Avedon acknowledged Disfarmer's influence when he created In the American West.
