"Born in Russia in 1887, Boris Lipnitzki moved to Paris in 1921. He set up a photographic studio and quickly became friends with the fashion designer Paul Poiret who introduced him to his clientele. From 1924, he published in Femina and Excelsior models of Heim, Schiaparelli, Chanel, Rouff, portraits of personalities (Josephine Baker, Cocteau, Michel Simon, Colette ...) and social reports. Boris Lipnitzki frequents the Russian colony in Paris, visits artists' studios and photographs ballet and theater productions, as well as authors and performers (Stanvinsky, Prokofiev, Lifar ...). After the war, during which, fleeing occupied France, he was welcomed by Marc Chagall in New York, he reopened the Studio Lipnitzki, which until the end of the 60s, will cover the Parisian news of the theater, ballet and opera. Boris Lipnitzki died in Paris in 1971. His photographic production as well as that of the Lipnitzki Studio - more than one million negatives and 600,000 prints - were acquired by the Roger-Viollet Agency in 1970."
