American photographer Berenice Abbott is currently the subject of a major show at the Jeu de Paume in Paris. Abbott was connected to much of that city’s avant-garde and expatriate communities in the 1920s and took compelling portraits of her illustrious crowd. And while the exhibition draws on her entire oeuvre, including her acclaimed series on New York City, it’s hard to go past these brilliant character studies.
