Dana Lixenberg's personal, political and pared-down portraits • FRANCE 24 English

Her photographs of celebrated personalities, from Toni Morrison to Tupac Shakur, have become iconic images. Dana Lixenberg tells us about three decades of providing her unique perspective on the United States and the evolution of a society she first started documenting in the 1990s. As her major, monographic exhibition "American Images" opens at the Maison Européenne de la Photo in Paris, the Dutch photographer tells us about being surprised by the enduring success of her beautiful black-and-white image of Tupac, how a small community in South Central LA crystallised her love of image-making and why artifice in photography is all right in very small doses. #danalixenberg #exhibition #photography Read more about this story in our article: https://f24.my/BoWc.y 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
