Alfred Latour – The Art of a Free Man

The exhibition presents the works of Alfred Latour in all their breadth and variety: as painter, engraver, and talented watercolourist, but also as book illustrator and maker, celebrated photographer, advertising artist and fabric designer. A member of the Union of Modern Artists (UAM), founded by Robert Mallet-Stevens, Latour excelled in every artistic field to which he lent his hand.
