This spring, Fotografiska Tallinn presents Through Elliott Erwitt’s Playful Eyes, a retrospective exhibition celebrating the legendary photographer Elliott Erwitt (1928–2023). This exhibition explores Erwitt’s seven decades of creative photography, highlighting playful everyday moments, humorous perspectives, and thought-provoking reflections. It is Fotografiska’s tribute to the extraordinary journey and talent of the legendary artist, showcasing nearly 100 images that represent the pinnacle of street photography.
Erwitt had a rare ability to be in the right place at the right time, and his visual language is marked by a subtle wit that captures the warmth, playfulness, and emotional richness of everyday life. The exhibition features his iconic black-and-white photographs alongside lesser-known works, including some of his earliest images from 1949 and a selection of color photographs from his later creative period.
