Views on Château Lafite Rothschild - 2011
Elliott Erwitt
Son of Russian emigrants, Elliott Erwitt was born in 1928 in Paris. While in New York in the 1950s, he became a member of the Magnum photo agency. For over 50 years, his reports and illustrations have appeared in publications around the world.
Even today, he continues to produce images with equal originality and finesse.
“Elliott Erwitt belongs, in Janine Niepce’s opinion and ours, to a very rare category of photographers: Those who make people laugh.”
For the 2011 greeting card, Elliott Erwitt cast his sensitive eye over Château Lafite Rothschild. A look from a great professional who defines himself as an “amateur,” in the etymological sense of one who loves.
