In 2002, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, originated Louis Faurer: A Photographic Retrospective—the first survey of Faurer’s work in the United States in more than 20 years. Perhaps best known for his black and white street photography, Faurer experimented boldly with color, as evidenced by this selection of vibrant color images offered here.
