PORTFOLIO - Lazare, Portraits et paysages : la collection Lazare
Following a first purchase, a work by Julia Margaret Cameron (United Kingdom, nineteenth century), the Lazare family has moulded the photographic content of it’s collection over the past twenty-five years to form what is a mainly contemporary ensemble of emotionally rich portraits and nostalgic landscapes.
Whether it is a poetic photograph of the McIntyre ranch by Angela Grauerholz or a portrait in profile of Kara Walker by Chuck Close, the works in the Lazare family collection, spanning over a hundred years of photographic history, attest to a powerful sensibility and uncommon introspection.

Jack et Harriet Lazare began collecting representational painting in the 1960s. They became interested in photography after seeing the exhibition titled Julia Margaret Cameron’s Women at MOMA in 1999. They immediately began collecting Cameron’s work. Recently, their collection has broadened to include Canadian and international contemporary photography.
