Join Nils Ohlsen Senior Curator at the Lillehammer Kunstmuseum to explore the connections between Édouard Manet’s modern Parisian scenes and the rise of American street photography.

From a sun-drenched Parisian café to the gritty pavements of mid-century New York, artists have always turned the street into a stage. In this captivating curator talk, discover how one revolutionary painter lit the fuse for a photography movement that changed everything.

Join Nils Ohlsen, Senior Curator at the Lillehammer Kunstmuseum, as he traces the electric thread connecting Édouard Manet's audacious Parisian canvases to the rise of American street photography and uncovers why the city became the defining subject of modern art.
