Une image, des images #19 | Prison de Leesburg with Léa Thouin

In this nineteenth episode, Léa Thouin, Collections Manager at the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson and an art historian, tells the story of Leesburg Prison (1975) by Henri Cartier-Bresson.

Each episode of Une image, des images is an opportunity for a specialist to recount the story of a particular image: a way of discovering, through his or her eyes, the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson’s archives and the photographic work of its two founders.

This program is made possible with the generous support of the Franck family.
