Martin Munkacsi Retrospective at Paci Contemporary in Brescia

A retrospective of Hungarian photographer Martin Munkacsi (1896–1963) opens November 30 at Paci Contemporary in Brescia, featuring 80 prints that trace his career from sports journalism to fashion photography and celebrity portraits. The exhibition, titled "Think while you shoot" (Pensa mentre scatti), runs until March 30, 2025. It is organized in collaboration with Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York and the Estate of Martin Munkacsi. A companion anthology edited by Andrea Tinterri with a preface by Howard Greenberg will be published by Dario Cimorelli Editore. Munkacsi began as a sports reporter in Hungary, later worked in Berlin with László Moholy-Nagy and Robert Capa, and moved to New York to shoot for Harper's Bazaar. His dynamic style influenced Richard Avedon and Henri Cartier-Bresson. His works are held at MoMA, the International Center of Photography, George Eastman House, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
