Jacques Henri Lartigue

Jacques-Henri Lartigue began taking photographs when he was only 6 years old. He grew up near Paris, France during the turn of the 20th century. He did not establish his name by being a photographer, but as a painter. Most of his life he focused on painting being his full time job and photography was a hobby. He kept an open mind and was not influenced by the style other photographers of this time took on because it was only a hobby and he photographed for his own personal interest.

William Klein “Broadway and 103 rd Street. New York” (1955)

This picture is part of a collection which marked an important turning point in the history of photography in the second half of the 20th century. This collection was published in 1956 under the title “New York”. WILLIAM KLEIN, who at the time was living and working in Paris, returned to the city where he was born and with this collection about its street life turned the photographic genre on its head. Using a high-speed and therefore grainier film he introduced picture distortion and blurring without any hesitation. His compositions, complex and apparently without order, set them apart from existing canons. It resulted in an uncomfortable and crude photography that probably wanted to reflect the sensations that the city and the American way of life produced in him. A photography full of rage and a new way to express itself. The author himself commented with fine irony on his own technique, saying that it was “a crash course in what not to do in photography”. It’s rather curious that an artist trained in France, where there were so many good photographers at that time was so far from the perfectionism that characterised the French photographic style.

Bill Brandt Bill Brandt (May 3, 1904 – December 20, 1983) was an influential British photographer and photojournalist known for his high-contrast images of British society and his distorted nudes and landscapes.

Robert Capa Capa is most famous for his photograph of a Spanish Republican militiaman, right, taken at the exact moment he was shot on a battlefield during the conflict. That photo and the rest of Capa's work transformed wartime photography The Fallen Soldier Death of a Loyalist Soldier

Robert Doisneau Le Baiser de l'Hotel de Ville, Paris, 1950

Robert Doisneau was the ultimate storyteller. His pictures, well versed in the laws and lines of photographic communication, became synonymous with a way of life that we all now accept as ‘French’. Who cannot recall the image of the two lovers walking past the Hôtel de Ville, in a passionate embrace, or the iconic image of Picasso sitting at his breakfast table, his hands miraculously metamorphosed into bread rolls!
