Jacques Henri Lartigue

Retrospective

Jacques Henri Lartigue gave us some of the finest photographs of the 20th century. Although he was also a painter, decorator, fashion designer and writer, his true vocation was as a capturer of fleeting moments. This is a retrospective of Lartigue’s classics in small format.
