Lartigue: Album of a Century presents a visual exploration of early to mid-20th century life through the lens of Jacques Henri Lartigue, whose photographs capture moments of leisure, speed, and modernity with spontaneity and charm.

The photographic strategy emphasizes candidness and joyful observation, revealing everyday scenes and technological advances with a light, playful visual tone that contrasts with the historical weight of the century it documents.

Published by Abrams in 2003, this 400-page volume assembles an extensive array of Lartigue’s work, offering a comprehensive overview suitable for readers interested in the intersections of personal memory and broader cultural shifts.
