US photographer Paul Strand (New York, 1890 – Orgeval, France, 1976) is considered to be one of the most important photographers of the 20th century.

This retrospective takes a chronological trip through the six decades that his career spanned (1910s-1960s) in a narrative that starts with the initial efforts of the artist to establish photography as a key form of independent artistic expression through to the maturity of his distinctive portraits of people and places which often took on the form of printed books
