"Yvon's Paris: Vintage Photographs from the 1920s" Exhibition
Higher Pictures
This event has ended.
Higher Pictures presents an exhibition of vintage prints by postcard photographer Pierre Yves Petit. Yvon, as he considered himself, though virtually unknown by name, helped to shape the idea and physical understanding of the evolution of Paris. Through his company, Éditions Yvon, he became what David Dunlap calls “the best-known unknown photographer in France”.
Preferring to photograph at sunrise and sunset, he worked the drama of the sublime, making stunning, hypnotizing and beautiful pictures. Yvonʼs style evokes other flâneurs of the time such as Eugéne Atget, André Kertész and Brassaï.
