<span style="font-size:80%">GASTON PARIS <br />The Balanced Square</span>
© Roger-Viollet

From October 2, 2025 to February 21, 2026

GASTON PARIS
The Balanced Square

Gaston Paris (1903-1964) is a unique figure in 20th-century photography. His offbeat and precise eye captures atmospheres that sometimes evoke cinema. His square frames are filled to perfection, always with elegance. Following an initial exhibition in 2022 held simultaneously with the Paris Centre Pompidou, the Galerie Roger-Viollet is now presenting 58 previously unseen modern prints.

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
