EXHIBIT: Bela Kalmann - Paris et Provence

FREE photography exhibit. Open February 4 - March 2. At The French Cultural Center, 53 Marlborough St.

The French Cultural Center invites you to discover the talent of Hungarian photographer Béla Kalmann who was part of the Boston artistic community and who owned and ran Studio 350 on Newbury Street in Boston for over 25 years.

Mr. Kalman explained that his magic behind the camera was to look through the lens with his fabled “third eye.” And that is what he did while travelling in France in the 60s and in the 80s. From these travels remain 16 stunning images picturing Versailles, le jardin des Tuileries, Notre Dame, streets of Paris and the amazing landscapes of Provence.

This unique testimony transports the visitors to an earlier time in France and helps them picture the evolution of these iconic places.
