For the first time in Italy, CAMERA - Center for Photography of Turin presents the exhibition Masterpieces of modern photography 1900-1940, exhibition of works from The Thomas Walther collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

The exhibition is organized by the Museum of Modern Art, New York. The exhibition itinerary consists of a selection of 230 photographic works from the first half of the twentieth century, absolute masterpieces in the history of photography made by the great masters of the lens, whose images still appear innovative today. 

Alongside iconic images by American photographers such as Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Steichen, Paul Strand, Walker Evans or Edward Weston and Europeans such as Karl Blossfeldt, Brassaï, Henri Cartier-Bresson, André Kertész and August Sander, the Walther collection enhances the central role of women in the first modern photograph, with works by Berenice Abbott, Marianne Breslauer, Claude Cahun, Lore Feininger, Florence Henri, Irene Hoffmann, Lotte Jocobi, Lee Miller, Tina Modotti, Germaine Krull, Lucia Moholy, Leni Riefenstahl and many others.

 In addition to the masterpieces of Bauhaus photography (László Moholy-Nagy, Iwao Yamawaki), of constructivism (El Lissitzky, Aleksandr Rodčenko, Gustav Klutsis), of surrealism (Man Ray, Maurice Tabard, Raoul Ubac) we also find the futurist experiments of Anton Giulio Bragaglia and the abstract compositions by Luigi Veronesi, two of the Italians present in the exhibition together with Wanda Wulz and Tina Modotti.
