Jacques Henri Lartigue

 

Jacques Henri Lartigue


Following the 20 images I posted in Higgledy Piggledy the other day, I've decided to add some more of Lartigue's lovely images of his "muses".


I've tried to avoid all his wonderful action shots which are so well known, and just go for the portraits of his favourite women as subjects.


I presented this shot of Florette as No. 2



Some people thought this portrait of Florette was a shot by our friend Vicky Mousoulis, and I perfectly understand why they thought so. 

Vicky was astonished that to learn that some people had thought of her in the same breath as Lartigue, but I think Vicky richly deserves that accolade.

Anyhow, these are for today:




Florette Ormea

Renée Perle






 Renée Perle





Florette Ormea ? 

 I think it's her but I can't be sure.

 I copied this from a site which gave no background details.

 I notice that there are no "beauty spots" on either 
side of her nose, which you can see clearly 
in the pics at the top of the page.

Notes:

Renée Perle and Jacques-Henri Lartigue

In 1930 Jacques meets the beautiful Renee Perle, the lady that went on to become his most famous muse, she became his mistress, Renee and Jacques were together for two years.


Florette Ormea

In January 1942 he meets twenty one year old Florette Ormea in Monte Carlo, Jacques was twenty seven years her senior.  They married on August 28th 1945, They remained happily together until Jacques death in 1986, aged 92.

Update on Sora, Luma, Runway Gen-2 Ai text and image machines.

Recently I posted this: From Richard: We knew it was coming, but it's still hard to believe                                                                                                      February 20, 2024 In that blog Richard introduced me to SORA which I found astonishing. Some of you may also have been as astonished as I was.  Since then Richard sent me a new lead on "LUMA DREAM MACHINE" which offers in some respects more than what SORA did. Here's a link to their main page which has been going viral: https://lumalabs.ai/dream-machine Well I 've been playing with Luma for a few days now, and to-ing and fro-ing with Richard and Alix... some of the results took my breath away, some were totally disappointing. Let's start with...

Maria Korporal: An Introduction to Her Work

Image
Darko has recently introduced me to multimedia artist  Maria Korporal. Of Dutch origin, Maria   lived   in Italy  for many years but she has lived and worked in Berlin  since 2014 . Her artistic production includes video art, interactive projects, installations. Her multimedia work has been designed using a wide variety of techniques. The narrative aspect, both personal and social, plays a major role in her work which together with the directness of the images and the sounds leads to greater participation of the viewer. In her work she plays with virtuality and reality, with undergone and artificially generated experiences. Most of her projects deal with social and environmental issues, often with an ironic approach. A good example is her project Korporal Zoo , a series of video works made between 2010 and 2018, which observe the animal and human world from several perspectives: cultural, social, environmental.  Over the last two years Maria experienced the...

Eyeless in Gaza, images from the net.

          Eyeless in Gaza...   Footnotes:   I wanted to leave these images up clear of any text. My friend Richard suggested we should acknowledge the sources so I've made a big effort to track them down out of respect for the incredible job they do, and especially for their courage, working in the dangerous zones where so many aid workers and journalists have lost their lives. But some are not credited on the pages of publications I drew them from. Here's a list I've just completed, numbered from the image No.1 at top of page down to the final one, No.9  1.
