NADAR (Felix Tournachon)
1820-1910

One of the most remarkable figures of 19th century French cultural life Nadar, as he called himself was an enthusiastic Republican and supporter of many interests and causes, Nadar was journalist, novelist, caricaturist, balloonist and the oustanding portrait photographer of his time. He was a close friend of Baudelaire and Manet, and made a studio available for the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874. There can be little doubt that his photographs of contemporary life, including his aerial views of Paris, had an influence on the Impressionists' visual imagination.
