On view from January 20 to April 23, 2022

Gaston Paris,

a fantastic eye.

Gaston Paris (1903-1964) has put together an impressive collection thanks to a powerful style and an incredible variety of topics, starting with the festive 1930’s until the difficulties of the post-World War II period.
Both a humanist photographer and a photo-reporter, Gaston Paris is above all an illustrative photographer who documented his time most often with humor and empathy.
The Galerie Roger-Viollet presents Gaston Paris’s work for the first time through a display of 80 exceptional modern prints.

Watch the movie

The Roger-Viollet Gallery welcomes you from Tuesday to Saturday from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm. Free admission.

6 rue de Seine 75006 Paris - Tél. + 33 1 55 42 89 09 - galerie@roger-viollet.fr
