les femmes de jacques henri-lartigue - coco




there is so little information available on marcelle "coco" paolucci online. they met in 1933, married in 1934 and divorced around 1941-42. i know that her father was the head electrician at the cannes and deauville casinos - during this period lartigue had earned a reputation as a painter and worked as an interior decorator at the cannes casino which is where they must have met. there is really only the one photo of her from the front, and believe me, i've spent hours online looking for her! in 1942 he met his last wife florette in monte carlo and that is the last of coco....one enigmatic, beautiful picture. if anyone has more please email me - i'd love to see her! next is the delicious & stunning reneƩ perle....a lack of photographs is definitely not a problem with her.
