And yet there are other lesser-known aspects of his work that invite us to take a closer look.

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
