The Steve McCurry exhibition, presented this winter at Caumont-Centre d'art, brings together 80 of the most emblematic works by the celebrated contemporary American photographer, as well as recent images never before exhibited in France. Born in 1950, this creator of iconic and poignant images has set his sights on the world, always focusing his lens all over the world, always focusing on the human being, thus providing a striking testimony to our times.

This exhibition covers almost 40 years of the photographer's career, and illustrates his many travels, from India to Japan, via Pakistan and Southeast Asia. The famous shot of Sharbat Gula, the young Afghan woman photographed in 1984 in a refugee camp in Peshawar, Pakistan, has become an absolute icon of world photography. Between ancestral traditions and contemporary cultures, the photographer's shots immortalize portraits and landscapes of both documentary and artistic value.
