Florence Henri:mirror of the avant-garde:1927-1940

If you spend a few days in Paris

the little art seeker suggests you to visit the beautiful exhibition in the Jeu de Paume devoted to a very creative and innovative photographer:Florence Henri.

Before becoming an avant-gardist photographer she was a painter but between the 1920s and 1940s she became famous because of her original photographies!!

In this very original exhibition ,you will discover many self-portraits of the artist but also of her friends such as Sonia Delaunay,Kandinsky ,and the French painter Fernand Léger.

The little art seeker loves the modernity of these portraits of artists who participated actively in the creation of the avant-gardes in the 1920’s.

Respectively:Kandinsky,Delaunay and Léger.

Her studio was as important as Man Ray’s and her pictures were published in many illustrated magazines.

The little art seeker loved the geometrical approach she had in her work ,inspired by the cubist movement.

So if you visit our beautiful city of Paris,follow the little art seeker and push the doors of the Jeu de Paume to discover this innovative artist!!!
