	Jacques Henri Lartigue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jacques Henri Lartigue (June 13, 1894 - September 12, 1986) was a French photographer and painter.

		Lartigue came from a background of considerable wealth and privilege, which allowed him to indulge his hobby - photography was still an expensive pursuit that required a great deal of heavy equipment.
		Lartigue's collection is the most comprehensive visual record of the Belle Epoque that exists and it is very fortunate that someone so gloriously sensitive was there with a camera.
		Lartigue, too, made a record of his life and times that was not intended for public consumption - and was almost unseen for over 60 years - he just used a different medium.

		Lartigue was fascinated by women and, although some of his early shots have a slightly satirical edge, he was generally eager to photograph them to their best advantage.
		Lartigue’s true diary was, of course, contained in his albums, and in the notebooks and journals that he kept alongside them.
		To Lartigue’s delight, Avedon was able to produce a splendid print and, after more than 60 years, a ‘latent image’ finally revealed itself: there was President Loubet in his fine carriage drawn by a magnificent white horse, its mane streaming, cantering by the lakeside in the woods, as seen by a ten-year-old child.

	The Lartigue Hoax? - A new book offers a controversial take on the famous photographer. By Jim Lewis
		Jacques Henri Lartigue was granted a childhood of great privilege: On this, and it seems on this alone, everyone can agree.
		Lartigue was 11 when he shot the earliest of the pictures in the MoMA show, and most were taken before he was 18.

		Lartigues photographs in general and his automobile work in particular, says Hinson, display an uncanny knack for `getting it, for conveying the atmosphere of a place, the personality of a subject, the excitement of a moment.
		Outside a small French circle, Lartigue was largely unknown until he was in his seventies, when his work from the first decades of the century was discovered by the Museum of Modern Art and featured in a popular and acclaimed solo show in 1963.
		Lartigues comfortable financial circumstances had never motivated him to produce large numbers of prints for sale and he appears never to have had any driving ambition to attain renown as a photographer, so his photographs sat quietly out of sight for decades while he pursued other interests.

	Moore, K.: Jacques Henri Lartigue: The Invention of an Artist.
		As a young boy, Jacques Henri Lartigue (1894-1986) set about passionately recording his life in photographs, first documenting his domestic circle and later capturing the auto races, air shows, and fashionable watering holes of the Belle Époque.
		In Jacques Henri Lartigue: The Invention of an Artist, Kevin Moore puts to rest the long-held myth of Lartigue as a naïve boy genius whose creations were based on instinct alone.
		Two events brought Lartigue before the public eye in America and created the Lartigue myth: In the summer of 1963, the first exhibition of Lartigue's work in the United States was held at the Museum of Modern Art, which hailed him as an important modernist photographer, a forerunner of the art-documentary style of the 1960s.

		Perhaps it was not so much that Lartigue spent his life taking photographs, as that he photographed his life, in order to keep hold of it, to prove that it was real.
		Lartigue has been compared to Marcel Proust, but he has as much in common with those photographers whose own diaristic and autobiographical approach - Robert Frank, Nobuyoshi Araki, Nan Goldin, Wolfgang Tillmans, Juergen Teller and a host of others - has become central to current artistic practice.
		If Lartigue's work also hinges on what has come to be called the "decisive moment" in photography, he accumulated so many such moments that what we end up with is less a collection of images, more a movie or an epic pictorial novel.

		Lartigue’s is a relentless optimistic vision; there is very little reflection of the turbulent times he lived through - two world wars, the “nightmare” described in the journals of waiting for news of his only son, taken as a prisoner of war, the atomic bomb.
		Lartigue’s is a more innocent vision, while the About Face artists are suspicious, as evidenced by their differing attitudes to female beauty.
