In the early years of the 20th century, Céline Laguarde established herself as an international figure within the first artistic movement in the history of photography: pictorialism. Rediscovered thanks to the exhibition "Qui a peur des femmes photographes? 1839-1945" (2015), the artist's personal collection was largely acquired by the Musée d'Orsay. The fall 2024 retrospective is the first devoted to Céline Laguarde, and also the first dedicated exclusively to a photographer active in France before the First World War. Céline Laguarde's work will thus emerge from a century of oblivion.
