Jacques Henri Lartigue, 1981

French photographer and painter Jacques Henri Lartigue died on September 12, in 1986 (b. 1894). Born in western Paris to a wealthy family, Lartigue started taking photographs when he was seven, recording his friends and family at play.

Karsh photographed Lartigue in 1951, and the Sitting notes read: “Guest at Roger Therond’s home when YK visited during trip to Paris, March 1981.” Therond was editor of Paris Match at the time.
