Biography

Laure Albin-Guillot who was born in 1879 was remarkable for the diversity of her production. Wife of a doctor, in the 1920s she invented the term "micrography" to describe her works which originated from photographs taken through a microscope. In 1922 she received the gold medal from the French Revue of Photography competition. In 1925 she  organized her first personal exhibition at the Paris Autumn Salon, and became a well-known photographer, publishing her work in the magazines Arts & Métiers Graphiques and Vu. During the 1930s, she developed a quasi-pictorial style, and did more and more portraits and nudes while at the same time working to make a lucrative living in advertising, fashion and as a neighborhood photographer. She became a close friend of various artists, musicians and writers and had a number of illustrations printed as special supplements, such as Narcissus by Paul Valéry (1936), the Songs of Bilitis by Pierre Louÿs (1937) and Debussy's Preludes (1948). As head archivist in the Ecole des Beaux-Arts' photographic archives, she was active in working to get photography officially recognized, and beginning in 1933, she was at the origin of the creation of the national Cinemathèque at the Palais de Chaillot, and envisaged a Photography Museum in the same locale. Laure Albin-Guillot died in 1963, leaving behind her a wealth of 50,000 photographs.
