Magnificent exhibition with a scenography that perfectly marries the prints. Through his lens, the most ordinary situations acquire an extraordinary dimension.

Intimate scenography, enlightening audio commentary, impeccable selection of images: everything is wonderful in this delightful retrospective that allows us to (re)discover Elliott Erwitt's unique eye and sense of humor.

Magnificent exhibition, very well arranged... An hour and a half of discovering a talented and internationally recognized photographer!
Geraldine D. L.
A retrospective worth seeing! Beautiful scenography and great atmosphere. The description of each theme is also very well written. And the film is an excellent complement as it truly represents Erwitt's personality and sense of humor!

Magnificent, funny, and moving images from a timeless artist. A must-see!

Press Reviews

An ironic discrepancy runs through all the images of this retrospective, bringing a life-saving optimism.
The last exhibition organized during the lifetime of photographer Elliott Erwitt has arrived in Brussels, and it is definitely worth a visit.
"Color is just a gimmick." Black and white is a universe', said Erwitt about it, but the retrospective proves, with intimate portraits of Che Guevara and set photos from John Huston's film classic The Misfits with Marilyn Monroe, that he was just as skilled in color.
Erwitt's photos not only manage to excite photography enthusiasts, but even those unfamiliar with the art form enjoy Erwitt's work.
The photographer who, somewhat reluctantly, was also an artist.
Elliott Erwitt photographed the human species in all its peculiarities. He was known for his dry humor, as this retrospective shows.
