Jacques Henri Lartigue (1894-1986) was a French photographer and painter, known for his photographs of automobile races, planes and female Parisian fashion models.
His work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1924 Summer Olympics.
Born in Courbevoie in western Paris to a wealthy family, Lartigue started taking photographs when he was seven.
He photographed his friends and family at play - running and jumping; racing home-built race cars; making kites, gliders as well as aeroplanes; and climbing the Eiffel Tower.
