Description
Harry Gruyaert: A Retrospective of Colour and Freedom Harry Gruyaert's work revolutionized the use of colour in photography, creating a bold and emotive visual language that continues to inspire. Born in 1941, Gruyaert joined Magnum Photos in 1982, but it was his work in the 1970s and 1980s that truly defined a new territory for colour photography. Gruyaert's creative process was influenced by cinema and American photographers, leading him to experiment with unconventional techniques. His iconic series, such as "TV Shots" and "Made in Belgium", showcase his unique approach to colour and light. This retrospective brings together Gruyaert's most recent work, which continues to push the boundaries of digital photography. With this collection, Gruyaert's personal quest for freedom of expression and the liberation of the senses is brought to light. The result is a superb overview of his work, showcasing his autonomy and independence in the creative process.
