In 1971, an exhibition entitled "New Photography USA" was organised at the Bibliothèque Nationale. Borrowed from
MOMA, it was devoted to young and little-known American photographers. Diane Arbus, Lee Friedlander, Garry Winogrand, and many others emerged from obscurity. Each of them initiated unique developments in the art of photography, making the most of its many possibilities without any a priori thoughts. Although far from pictorialism, and at a distance from the document in its pure form, they didn't, however, break with the rich heritage represented by Walker Evans, Harry Callahan or Aaron Siskind.
This exhibition aims to show the astounding sense of freedom which, at that time, swept stereotypes away and continues to influence the postmodern conception of photography.
