MK Gallery Announces 'Jacques Henri Lartigue: Life in Colour' Exhibition

MK Gallery will host 'Jacques Henri Lartigue: Life in Colour', an exhibition dedicated to the French artist Jacques Henri Lartigue. Scheduled from June 20 to October 4, 2026, the exhibition focuses on Lartigue's extensive output beyond his widely recognized black-and-white photography, with a particular emphasis on his color works and paintings.

Lartigue, active through much of the 20th century, is known for his photographic documentation of the Belle Époque, motor racing, aviation, and Parisian high society. This presentation at MK Gallery will feature a range of his mediums, including early drawings, stereoscopic images, and color photographs, providing a broader perspective on his artistic practice that also encompassed painting.

The exhibition aims to contextualize Lartigue's diverse creative output, extending beyond his celebrated photographic archives. It seeks to highlight his sustained engagement with various visual forms, from early experiments in photography to his later work in color and painting, presenting a comprehensive view of his artistic development.
