Laure Albin Guillot - The exhibition catalog. Editions de la Martinière, 2013. Laure Albin Guillot, a "sonorous name that was to become famous", we read in the aftermath of the Second World War. The French photographic landscape of this mid-century is indeed singularly marked by the signature and aura of this artist who, during her lifetime, was certainly the most exposed and recognized, not only for her talent and virtuosity but also for her professional commitment. Organized into four sections, Laure Albin Guillot's exhibition and the catalog published for the occasion enable visitors to discover her art of portraiture and nudes, her active role in advertising, her printed work and, finally, a substantial collection of her "decorative micrographs", stunning photographs of microscopic preparations that made her famous in 1931. Paperback, with headband. Brand new, in original plastic wrapper. Publisher: La martinière
