Prima edizione (First Edition). Jacques Henri Lartigue (1894-1986) is now firmlu estblished as a figure of essential importance in th history of Photography. An amateur graced with a genius for forms, he was already producing astonishing photographs at the age of twelwe, capturing the carefree antics of his eccentric family and friends. It was in these early years that he developed a fscination for th subjects that concerned him throughout his life: the immensity of the world to a child; the seaside; fashionable woman in ostrich feathers and plumes; and, above all, movement, from people walkinf or jumping to flying machines and motor cars.

This sumptuous monograph of charming and engaging images arrestingly documents a particular moment in the history of the twentieth century: the end of the old world and the dawn of th new. Jacques Henri Lartigue (1894-1986) è oggi considerato una figura di fondamentale importanza nella storia della fotografia. Amateur e genio delle forme, già all'età di due anni realizzava fotografie sorprendenti, catturando le spensierate buffonate della sua eccentrica famiglia e dei suoi amici. Fu in questi primi anni che sviluppò un'immaginazione per i soggetti che lo interessarono poi per tutta la vita: l'immensità del mondo per un bambino, il mare, la donna alla moda con paillettes e piume di struzzo e, soprattutto, il movimento, dalle persone che camminano o saltano alle macchine volanti e alle automobili. Jacques Henri Lartigue: Photographer è un magnifico omaggio a un amatissimo fotografo. Questa sontuosa monografia di immagini affascinanti e coinvolgenti documenta in modo sorprendente un momento particolare della storia del XX secolo: la fine del vecchio mondo e l'alba del nuovo.
