"Histoires de photographies" retraces, through nearly 400 original prints and negatives, a century and a half of photographic stories immortalized by great names such as Eugène Atget, Laure Albin-Guillot, Dora Kallmus, better known as Madame d'Ora, Man Ray, Cecil Beaton, Robert Doisneau, Bettina Rheims, David Seidner...

Chronological and thematic, the exhibition catalog reveals the diversity of uses of photography—political, economic, legal, artistic, and documentary—and highlights the sensitive and unexpected intersections with the decorative arts. It thus offers a fresh perspective on the leading role that the Musée des Arts Décoratifs has played in the recognition of photography on the French art scene.

This book presents more than 350 photographs preserved at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, many of which have remained unpublished until now. The result of a unique history, this little-known collection reveals the diversity of approaches and uses of photography related to the decorative arts, architecture, and fashion.
