b/w photojournalism

Did a search but no results...Which of the Paris photography museums/centers has a good selection of the traditional b/w photojournalists%26#39; (Atget, Klein, Doisneau, HCB, etc.) work? Thanks!

There is the Fondation HCB, but I have never been.



The Bibliotheque Nationale de France has an incredible collection of its own and usually has an expo or two at any given time.

When we last visited the Maison Europeenne de la Photographie, they had the award winning photos from photojournalists around the world....current. They also had some b/w older ones taken at the diamond mines in the 50%26#39;s. They always have super photos exhibited. Don%26#39;t know what their current shows are, but we will be visiting them again on the 29th.

Thanks, both, for the suggestions. That rendezvousfrance site is terrific. Does the HCB center have photographs besides his own?




|||



yes.

Off topic, but as you are Spain forever, perhaps you could share some insider tips on Madrid. I%26#39;ve never considered going there but circumstances look like I will be there for four days with my 10 year old. If you have some insights and you feel like sharing, I can be reached at sabesphoto (at) yahoo (dot) com. thx

phread: My expertise is actually Seville and Barcelona, but if you send me your email, I can put you in touch with a long-time ex-pat friend from college, who has lived in Madrid for 30 years. When are you going?
