Arriving in Paris from his native Hungary in 1929, L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Elk\u00e1n tried his hand at painting, music and fashion before starting work as a photographer for the magazine&nbsp;<em>Marianne<\/em>. Having been active in the leftwing CGT union and the Communist party, which twice stripped him of his party card, in 1938 and 1947, he quite logically became an early member of the Resistance and the National Movement for Prisoners of War and the Deported, soon after his escape from Hohenstein POW camp. It was then that he adopted the pseudonym Lucien Herv\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Close to the French post-war humanist school, whose leading lights included Robert Doisneau and Willy Ronis, Lucien Herv\u00e9&#8217;s career reached a turning-point in 1949, when he met Le Corbusier and became his official photographer until the architect&#8217;s death in 1965. Lucien Herv\u00e9 was acclaimed as one of the finest photographers of architecture, notably for his beautiful pictures of Chandigarh, Brasilia and Le Thoronet and his subsequent collaborations with Alvar Aalto and Oscar Niemeyer. He also documented the construction of major public works in Paris, from the UNESCO building to the Louvre Pyramid. His later years featured series of photographs of his apartment in Paris. Over his 60-year career, he produced numerous publications and exhibited in galleries and museums across the globe.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Virginie Chardin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"669\" height=\"421\" src=\"https:\/\/la-fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Brazilia-1961-\u00a9-Lucien-Herv\u00e9.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3883\" srcset=\"https:\/\/la-fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Brazilia-1961-\u00a9-Lucien-Herv\u00e9.jpg 669w, https:\/\/la-fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Brazilia-1961-\u00a9-Lucien-Herv\u00e9-300x189.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 669px) 100vw, 669px\" \/><figcaption>\u00a9 Lucien Herv\u00e9<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color is-style-wide\"\/>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-2306","artistes","type-artistes","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/la-fab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artistes\/2306","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/la-fab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artistes"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/la-fab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artistes"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/la-fab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
