About

Apart from the stunning black-and-white images for which Lartigue is celebrated - including his ground-breaking panoramic photographs of the coastline - Lartigue's Riviera also reveals an important group of little-known and rarely published color photographs. The world ski-jumping championships in Juan-les-Pins, filming Les Aventures du roi Pausole in Cap d'Antibes, the Ziegfeld Follies girls in Monte Carlo, alternate here with the daily life of Lartigue and his friends - stopping for lunch in St Tropez, exercising on the beach in Cannes, drinking an aperitif at sunset at Cap d'Ail.
