Jacques Henri Lartigue's elegant black and white and color photography spans a century; this affordable volume celebrates the best of his joyful and stylish work.Jacques Henri Lartigue's carefree, joyful, and spontaneous spirit permeates his photography. And yet there are other lesser-known aspects of his work that invite us to take a closer look. Whether capturing amusing scenes on film or sketching them on paper or canvas, the artist covered a vast range of themes. Lartigue took photographs throughout his career, almost as a matter of routine, which makes his work a vital record of his times. His style gradually evolved, influenced by artistic experiments and personal encounters.He left behind a rich and varied body of work. Albums of his private photographs provide a romanticized view of the photographer's personal life, revealing his doubts and attempts to understand his place in the world; they constitute an essential part of his body of work. Lartigue played with visual tricks, styles, and recurring themes-transportation, sports, shadow play, chic women-bridging different periods and lending consistency to his work.The selection of photographs reproduced here represents the best examples of his most popular themes
