The work and its artist

V. Maier (1926-2009)

The career of Vivian Maier (New York, 1926 - Chicago, 2009) is atypical, but it is nevertheless that of one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. It was at the heart of American society, in New York from 1951 and then in Chicago from 1956, that this governess meticulously observed the urban fabric that already reflected the great social and political changes in its history.
