La révolution Martin Parr
The Jeu de Paume museum in Paris is presenting a major exhibition of the late British photographer Martin Parr, on view until May 24. The show coincides with the release of a documentary film, "I am Martin Parr, le photographe so British," which follows the artist and features interviews with his wife, gallerists, and fellow Magnum Photos members.
Berlin's Gemäldegalerie is digitally reconstructing hundreds of Old Master paintings by artists like Rubens, Veronese, van Dyck, and Caravaggio that were destroyed in fires near the end of World War II. The project uses high-resolution scans of glass negatives, primarily photographed by Gustav Schwarz between 1925 and 1944, to create detailed online renderings that will be publicly accessible for viewing and download later this year.
