Stunning Vibrant Color Photos of Life in France by Jacques-Henri Lartigue

Jacques-Henri Lartigue was a French photographer and painter noted for his spontaneous joyful photographs. He started photography at the age of 6 and was one of a handful of photographers who helped define street photography. His photographs reveal his free spirit and love of life, convey the emotion of the moment. Lartigue’s photographic work remained undiscovered until 1963, when the curator of the Museum of Modern Art, John Szarkowski offered him a solo exhibition. His love of color photography was years ahead of its time, as it was not until the mid-1970s.

These stunning color photographs of Lartigue show France in vibrant color capturing the French countryside, the women in his life, famous friends (Picasso, Fellini), and glimpses from his travels.
