Old movies, musicals, Gershwin's music… The United States fascinates as much as it intrigues. While it is now ubiquitous in the media and on social networks, allowing the whole world to become familiar with the culture of this country across the Atlantic, what it looked like during the 1950s to 1970s is much more hazy. This is precisely the period dedicated to the new exhibition at the Galerie Rouge in the 4th arrondissement, titled American Street Photography.
