Enjoy the Unique Eye of a Master Photographer

European-born but American at heart, Erwitt is a versatile artist, capturing the intimate, the journalistic and the publicity-driven. His lens has immortalized iconic moments in history as well as personalities such as Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Kennedy, Charles de Gaulle, and Ernesto "Che" Guevara. His unique eye subtly blends humor and emotion, capturing the quintessence of everyday life.

Going beyond the simple distinction between black and white vs. color, Erwitt explores the multiple facets of his art, navigating between personal and commissioned works.
