Harry Gruyaert – Photographer
1h 3m Arts & Culture, Photography, Documentary 2018

A luminous portrait of Magnum photographer Harry Gruyaert, who escaped a grey, repressed childhood to reinvent European photography through colour.

Driven by Color traces the life of Magnum legend Harry Gruyaert, who defied his father’s will to find salvation through the lens. Leaving behind the grey confines of his Flemish upbringing, he discovered the vivid light of the world and himself. A restless wanderer and visual poet, Gruyaert turned colour into emotion, redefining the language of photography and capturing the pulse of a changing Europe.

Rialto Recommends: Harry Gruyaert – Photographer. A hypnotic study of art, rebellion, and redemption, Driven by Color celebrates how one man turned defiance into beauty. Through Gruyaert’s lens, the world bursts into life proof that sometimes colour isn’t just seen, it’s felt.
