Between 1926 and 1936, George Hoyningen-Huene served as the chief photographer for the prestigious French edition of Vogue France, and even then he was widely recognized as a pioneer of the nouvelle vague in fashion photography. Years earlier, he had become part of the close circle around Man Ray, with whom he actively collaborated. His friends included Salvador Dalí, Lee Miller, Pablo Picasso, Paul Éluard, and Jean Cocteau. To Richard Avedon, he was simply "a genius." His style would go on to shape an entire generation of young photographers. The son of an American mother and an Estonian baron, he fled Russia with his family after the October Revolution, first settling in London before moving to Paris. The exhibition unfolds through a journey of 100 photographs, divided into 10 sections, featuring platinum prints that highlight George Hoyningen-Huene’s refined and elegant style. The works also emphasize his innovative use of printing techniques and the artistic influences that marked his career.
