Arena (1975)

On Photography (1979x3)

Uitzenddatum: Jan 15, 1979

A film on two of the greatest photographers of the 20th century: Jacques Henri Lartigue and Roman Vishniac. Lartigue began taking photographs at the age of seven in 1902, and his celebrated 'Diary of a Century' is a photographic record of his life from that time until the present day; meanwhile, Vishniac—a Russian Jew born in St Petersburg in 1897—is famous for his striking images of life in the Jewish ghettos, taken with a concealed camera just before the last world war.
