Biarritz.- ©Jacques Henri Lartigue. - What it all comes down to is the miraculous response of the body to the human mind—an energy propelling nature's cycle forward from origin to experience and back to origin. We are not trees. We are not stones. We are what William Wordsworth describes as "Transitory Beings." Lartigue, then, is a master of this transition.


MADRID.- Lluís Reverter, secretary general of ”la Caixa” Foundation, opened A Floating World. Photographs by Jacques Henri Lartigue (1894-1986), accompanied by the exhibition curators, Florian Rodari, Martine d'Astier de la Vigerie. The exhibition was organised and produced by ”la Caixa” Social Outreach Programmes in cooperation with the Donation Jacques Henri Lartigue, the body established to conserve and disseminate the donation that the photographer made to the French government in 1979, and which loaned all the pieces in the exhibition at CaixaForum Madrid.
