Steve McCurry, a great humanist photographer

"Steve McCurry's World" tells the story of elsewhere and takes us on a journey of discovery of the vast world
But what jumps out at you when you visit this exhibition is the evidence of the common values that make up the human species. Steve McCurry is a humanist and they are life stories that he presents to us
Some of his photos tell the story of war and do not shy away from its brutality, but many speak of people's daily lives, the lives of ordinary people around the world
We see children playing with hoops in front of baobabs or playing with weapons in Afghanistan. We see warriors tenderized with their children in their arms, women in niqab doing window shopping in Kabul...

The exhibition "Steve McCurry's World" is composed of more than 150 photos in large format
From the young Afghan woman with green eyes photographed in 1984, through the collapse of the Twin Towers in 2001, to monumental shots of the Antarctic landscape, the exhibition "The World of Steve McCurry" offers a magnificent retrospective of the works of the American photographer
The visit begins with a selection of black and white war photographs taken in Afghanistan between 1979 and 1980 during the Soviet invasion
The rest of the tour is neither thematic nor chronological. It is a plunge into the heart of the cultures of the whole world, of the daily life of each

Born in 1950 in Philadelphia, Steve McCurry is recognized worldwide with his photos taken in Afghanistan at the time of the Soviet invasion. He worked on various battlefields from Beirut to Cambodia, from Kuwait to the former Yugoslavia. What interests him is not the conflicts, but how people's lives are impacted by them

A game booklet is offered at the entrance for children A booklet for children under 6 years old and another for older children. The children are transformed into great reporters and go in search of the photos of the exhibition. They observe the details.

- An extraordinary exhibition

Written by Martine REMY, on 05-08-2022

Photos of great artistic and human sensitivity; a treat for the eyes and the heart. Sometimes the space is a bit limited, especially to take a step back. Steve McCurry is a photographer who gives photo ideas to photographers sensitive to human beings.

Some photos of Latin America which according to me do not really have their place in the exhibition. For the rest, simply magnificent: each photograph is a source of wonder, surprise but especially awareness. A must see

Portraits of men and women, children, adults, old people, sometimes smiling, sometimes serious, all strikingly beautiful and human.
