Elliott Erwitt. A retrospective.
The exhibition Elliott Erwitt. A retrospective. was conceived during the artist’s lifetime, in competition. It brings together 215 black & white and color photographs , presented from different angles, covering the most iconic themes in the American photographer ‘s work (Beaches, Dogs, Kolor, Abstraction, etc.), revealing a multi-faceted artist.
I think the most important thing you can do in photography is to evoke emotion, to make people laugh or cry, or both.
– Elliott Erwitt
Elliott Erwitt‘s words are the best way to define his work and his desire to capture the essence of everyday life with humor, wit and humanity in unexpected compositions. Through his lens, the most ordinary situations acquire an extraordinary dimension, while the most famous portraits become intimate.
Come and visit us at Grand Place 5 to see this exhibition, the first of its kind in Brussels!
