Dr Paul Wolff, l’Homme au Leica
17 January to 14 April 2024

“The Pavillon Populaire of the City of Montpellier present the first French retrospective dedicated to Dr Paul Wolff (1877-1951). It exhibit the work of one of the most well-known, yet rarely exhibited, German photographers of the interwar years in its multiple forms. Paul Wolff, rather than being an artist in the conventional sense of the term, founded a photographic agency alongside his associate Alfred Tritschler, which provided ample documentation (almost 700,000 photographs) of the troubled period
in Germany from the Weimar Republic to the national Socialist and post-war years. This exhibition will display an extensive collection, marked by the growing popularity of 35 mm small format photography launched by the Leica brand, with Paul Wolff becoming its top proponent from 1926.”
