In 2001 and 2016, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York bought more than 350 photographs belonging to Thomas Walther. This swiss collector had constituted an impressive collection of works by some of the greatest artists of the first half of the 20th century, such as El Lissitzky, Berenice Abbott, Alexandre Rodthchenko, Edward Weston, Manuel Álvarez Bravo or Claude Cahun.
More than 230 photos of this collection, which is today one of the pillars of the modern collection at the MoMA, are presented for the first time outside of New York. Uniting genres and approaches, the exhibition at the Jeu de Paume Museum traces the invention of modernity in photography between 1909 and 1949.
