Les photographes étrangers dans la France de l’entre-deux-guerres

Photographers from abroad in France during the inter-war period. Between the two wars, many foreigners settled in France. The artists amongst them come from countries which are not representative of the countries of immigrants’ origins as a whole. Where photographers are concerned, a quarter come from Germany and another quarter from Hungary, fleeing the political situation after Admiral Horty’s seizure of power. These Hungarian photographers often came from avant-garde milieux, and they had a far-reaching influence on French photography which, for many years, has gone unrecognized.
