Catherine Couturier Gallery is celebrating 30 years in business and honoring the legacy of the gallery's original founder, John Cleary. In the late 1970s, Cleary took a photography class at Rice University taught by Anne Tucker and Geoff Winningham, and soon after, he purchased his first photograph, Robert Doisneau's Le Manège de Monsieur Barré (Mr. Barré's Carousel), 1955. That print is one of the works on view in Thirty Years: The Legacy of John Cleary specializing in Gallery, through September 5. and modern Cleary opened the prints by masters gallery vintage of in 1996, 20th-century photography. Couturier joined as gallery manager in 1999, and she bought the gallery in 2008, when Cleary died; four years later, she changed the gallery's name. Among the many genres that Couturier shows are mid-century French street photography, portraits of children, and contemporary photography. The photographs on view in Thirty Years include some of the most iconic images of 20th-century photography: Henri Cartier-Bresson's famous picnicking foursome, On the Banks of the Marne, 1938; André Kertész's minimal, bisected Chez Mondrian, 1926; and Willy Ronis's romantic scene of a Parisian intersection, Sèvres-Babylone, 1948.
