JACQUES HENRI LARTIQUE

Lartigue (1894-1986) was given his first camera in 1902 and soon began tofill album after album with photographs of family and friends. He went onto capture the world on film, but always recorded what fascinated him most:people in motion and objects in flight. The photographs collected here - ofcar and bicycle races, early aeroplanes, enormous kites and, of course, hisfamily - radiate the intimacy, humour and exuberance he broughtto his art.
