Looking at Vu, A Photographic Magazine, 1928-1940

Looking at Vu, A Photographic Magazine, 1928-1940 FRANCE PARIS  •  La Maison Européenne de la Photographie  •  Ongoing   The illustrated weekly magazine VU was at the forefront of the 1920s communications revolution. Its founders believed that it could deliver an objective vision of the world through extensive use of photography. The contribution of independent photographers (including Kertész, Man Ray, Krull, Lotar and Brassaï), the use of large numbers of agency pictures, the boldness of its layout, the invention of the "photo-reportage" and the quality of its printing in photogravure all reflect a daring editorial approach that remains unique in the history of publishing.
