About The Work
In over five decades of photography Elliott Erwitt (b.1928) has never lost his characteristic intrigue at the curiosities of life. His unique ability to capture beauty in the mundane as well as the famous, to find the commonplace in the exceptional and vice versa.
Provence, 1955 is one of Erwitt's most famous photographs. Originally employed by the French Tourist Board, the image was subsequently parodied by Heineken, allowing Erwitt's innate humour and affection for the absurd, to come to the fore.
