Bill Brandt: Shadow and Light
UNITED STATES NEW YORK • The Museum of Modern Art • 6 March - 12 August 2013 |

Bill Brandt (1904-83) is a major figure in photography’s modernist traditions, and this exhibition represents a critical reevaluation of his career. Brandt’s distinctive vision — his ability to present the mundane world as fresh and strange—emerged in London in the 1930s, and drew from his time in the Paris studio of Man Ray. His visual explorations of the society, landscape, and literature of England are indispensable to any understanding of photographic history and, arguably, to our understanding of life in Britain during the middle of the 20th century.
