Of prints and artist's

Bouqueret Christian ed. Desveaux Delphine ed. The perfect example of a successful female photographer, Laure Albin Guillot acted as a bridge between two generations of artists: the pictorialists, who wanted to correlate photography with painting, and, as from the s, the Nouvelle Vision movement, a group of modern-minded photographers.

She also photographed landscapes in a pictorialist style, achieving a faint and hazy blurredness with the Eidoscope and Opale lenses, and paying great attention to her prints by thoroughly researching photographic paper. She also started photographing her family and circle of friends. After her husband died, she not only made a living from commissioned portraits, but also as a pioneer in the fields of fashion and commercial photography.

Like many photographers during the interwar period, she managed to simultaneously pursue a successful commercial career and intense creative activity. While she photographed female nudes in classical poses and compositions in the early s, her work saw a formal evolution in its use of whites and framing between and She was also one of the only photographers of the s to approach male nudes beyond the domains of sport and allegory.

She published Photographie publicitaire , and in doing so was the first to defend this type of modern photography. Watch and Listen. Villa Vassilieff. FR EN. Support us. At the Villa Vassilieff.
