Gallery FIFTY ONE
We all carry a vast visual library of images engraved in our heads: one could refer to it as a ‘Musée Imaginaire’ as André Malraux called it. Thanks to photography, we are able to create a visual and virtual museum. We collect artworks from their photographic reproductions in various artbooks and magazines and visualize them in our private museum. Some artistic photographs have become iconic images in this way, carried preciously in our mind and head. These are the well-known photographs from the masters of the 20th en 21st century photography; all of them pioneering and groundbreaking photographers – the medium’s innovators and pioneers –.
