The Modern Century

Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908–2004) is one of the most original, accomplished, and influential figures in the history of photography. This exhibition of nearly 300 images is the first full retrospective devoted to Cartier-Bresson in three decades. It includes both his formally groundbreaking early images and his historically significant postwar work that redefined the field of photojournalism.

Bruce Davidson Lecture & Signing

Outside Inside is a lecture on the occasion of Bruce Davidson's new three-volume book of the same name, which contains eight hundred photographs from his archives. Davidson's photography spans an intense fifty-year period, from his work as a student in 1954 to two recent works in progress, a series of innovative urban landscapes made in Paris (2006) and Los Angeles (2009). These three volumes celebrate the development of a master of the medium and reflect the artist's own journey of consciousness.
