Ten years after his first retrospective, René Burri, the Swiss photographer and member of the Magnum agency since 1959, is back at the Maison européenne de la photographie (European house of photography) in Paris. Through his clichés, he captured major events of the 20th century, for instance with his mythical black and white portraits of Picasso, Churchill and Che Guevara. The MEP's exhibition presents around a hundred photos as well as a collage and extracts from documentaries and movies by the artist but that have rarely been displayed until now. It is a good opportunity to learn more about this photographer who often took inspiration from the cinema.

Exhibition "René Burri - Mouvement", from September 10th to October 12th 2014.
Open Wednesday - Sunday from 11am to 8pm.
Closed on Monday, Tuesday and public holidays.
Full rate: €8 / Concession: €4.50 / Free for the under-8s, and every Wednesday from 5pm to 8pm.
