In 1963, after almost 60 years of taking photo-
graphs daily and pasting the images into albums,
Jacques Lartigue publicly exhibited his personal
photographs in New York at the Museum of Mod-

name to Jacques Henri Lartigue. A meeting in 1962
with John Szarkowski, the Director of the Depart-
ment of Photography at the MoMA, meant that
Lartigue was to become one of the most well-
known and admired amateur photographers in the
later twentieth century. Lartigue was born in Cour-
bevoie into one of France’s wealthiest families in- He began photographing at age six using his

tigue recorded the world around him in great detail,
both in photographs and in corresponding diaries.
The wealth and connections of his family meant
that from a young age Lartigue was granted access
to some of the most important people and events of
the time, and his photographs have become valued
