A landmark monograph, Weegee's World features the work of the archetypal hard-bitten tabloid photographer who was also a modern master of the art of photography.

Jacques Henri Lartigue, Photographer
introduced by Vicki Goldberg
Hardcover/125pp/Bulfinch Press
HBS price: $39.99

Lartigue received his first camera at the age of 7 and was a prodigy of this new art form. The first section of this beautiful monograph presents the work of his early childhood, pictures in which he avidly captures the mystery of flight - friends jumping over chairs, a dog thrown into water. Later on we see the photographs of his adolescence, Parisians on promenade in the Bois de Boulogne before WWI, the races at Auteuil, flying machines. With 126 duotone photographs and 16 gatefolds, Jacques Henri Lartigue, Photographer is an homage to an artist who documented the end of the old world and the beginning of the new.

The omnipresent artist - head shaven, and naked - appears in evocative scenes ranging from Naples to Easter Island, from the Peace Park in Hiroshima to the swamps of the Louisiana Bayou. Other Edens integrates personal, cultural, and comic visions to present an idiosyncratic view of a planet in flux.
