Jacques Henri Lartigue (French:[laʁtig]; 13 June 1894 – 12 September 1986) was a French photographer and painter, known for his photographs of automobile races, planes and female Parisian fashion models.[1]
Biography
Born in Courbevoie in western Paris to a wealthy family, Lartigue started taking photographs when he was seven.[2] He photographed his friends and family at play – running and jumping; racing home-built race cars; making kites, gliders as well as aeroplanes; and climbing the Eiffel Tower.
He was one of the first artists to use the Kodak Brownie camera for snapshots.[3] He also photographed sport events, such as the Coupe Gordon Bennet
