Jacques-Henri Lartigue

Diary of a Century

Jim Willis

I'm not sure that this is the same edition that I took out from our library. The one I read lists for about $400 on Amazon. Lartigue, in documenting his daily life (especially his brother Zissou) from 1900-1970 or so, created a deep well for Wes Anderson to mine ideas and images from. Lartigue kept a daily journal that went with his photos, the book includes some excerpts. Really a gem of a book. I'll renew it a few times from the library just to be able to keep going back to it for inspirado.
