Discover Jacques Henri Lartigue: Life in Colour in greater depth and find out more about the works on display and the stories behind them.

Free with your exhibition ticket (purchased here or at front desk), booking advised.

Jacques Henri Lartigue (1894–1986) is celebrated for his black-and-white photographs of Belle Époque Paris, capturing elegance, speed and modern life; from car racing and aviation to the French Riviera. The exhibition at MK Gallery is the first UK public presentation of photographer’s work in over a decade and focuses on his little-known colour photography. Featuring over 150 works, the exhibition traces his career including childhood drawings, fashion photography and late abstractions. Though long overlooked, his work gained international recognition with a landmark MoMA exhibition in 1963, establishing him as a pioneer of instantaneous photography.
