The Leica Gallery Düsseldorf presents the multifaceted work of Swiss Magnum photographer Werner Bischof (1916–1954). Bischof, known for his iconic black-and-white images, engaged with color surprisingly early on—his first photographs with the Devin Tri-Color Camera date back to 1938. These previously little-known color images are a remarkable discovery and demonstrate that, for Bischof, color was more than a technical experiment from the very beginning—it was a consciously chosen means of expression.

Exhibition until August 22nd 2026
