Introduction
On the occasion of the French May Festival and the 150th anniversary of the Galerie Kraemer, a leading and longstanding presence in the
art and antiques world on rue de Monceau in Paris for seven generations, Boogie Woogie Photography is proud to present a solo exhibition
by Jacques Henri Lartigue (France, 1894–1986).
This special presentation offers a renewed glimpse into the artist's world, featuring two previously unseen large format prints of
color diapositives of the 1970's alongside a dozen classical iconic platinum prints and vibrant color works. Lartigue, renowned for
his dynamic photographs of Belle Époque life, car races, and elegant women, possessed a keen eye for capturing joy. Richard Avedon
eloquently noted, Lartigue "photographed his own life," creating a dreamed, idealized vision where he consciously chose to Keep
only the Sunshine.
