In the early years of the 20th century, Céline Laguarde established herself as an international name in the first artistic movement in the history of photography: pictorialism.
The retrospective scheduled for autumn 2024 is the first to be devoted to Céline Laguarde, and also the first to be exclusively dedicated to a woman photographer active in France before the First World War.
The “Céline Laguarde photographer” exhibition aims first and foremost to reveal a body of work of unsuspected quality, variety and longevity. Through around a hundred and forty of the artist’s original prints, selectively compared with photographs by her male and female contemporaries, the exhibition also showcases the evolutions and continuities, influences and dialogues, and originality and specificities that characterize Céline Laguarde’s work.
