Jacques-Henri Lartigue 32196 - Jacques Henri Lartigue, Photographer

Title: Jacques Henri Lartigue, Photographer
Description: Little, Brown, 1998. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 11. Jacques-Henri Lartigue took his first pictures in the year 1900, at the age of six. He was considered a child prodigy and had produced incredible images of his family and friends by the time he was twelve. In the dozen or so years before World War I, whether it was racing cars, flying machines, people jumping, glider planes, ladies of fashion strolling in the park, or people at the seashore and at the races, the young Lartigue was fascinated by movement. An amateur graced with a sense of creation and a genius for form, his intent was to record a moment as it sped by. Lartigue was rediscovered in the 1970s with the publication of Diary of a Century, edited by Richard Avedon. Lartigue is the first book since then to survey the depth of the photographer's amusing and engaging historical perspectives. It is truly an homage to the revelations of his exceptional images that arrestingly document the end of the old world and the beginning of the new. ISBN: 9780821225493. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
