ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OF PHOTOLITERATURE FOR CHILDREN - Laurence Le Guen
The 19th century saw the birth of modern photography, and from that point on, books have been an integral part of photography. A long-ignored and sometimes underestimated genre, photoliterature was nevertheless popular with children, and many artists tried their hand at it.
From 1886 to 2021, these books bear witness to their era, to educational, aesthetic and political trends, as well as to technical advances in the medium. Amateur and renowned photographers alike - Robert Doisneau, Ylla, André Kertész, Ergy Landau, Sarah Moon - took up this format. Their work rubs shoulders with the texts of renowned authors - Marcel Aymé, Maurice Genevoix, Jacques Prévert, Susie Morgenstern, Timothée de Fombelle - and, together, they create surprising works.
This journey through 150 years of European and North American photo-illustrated literature will take you on a fascinating tour of children's book publishing.
