Életmű-díj Lucien Hervé számára. Eifert János, a Magyar Fotóművészek Szövetsége elnöke méltatja a világhírű fotóművész munkásságát.
Lászlo Elkán was born into a Jewish Hungarian family in the city of Hódmezővásárhely in Hungary on August 7, 1910. After beginning studies in Hungary, he emigrated to Paris in 1929, joining many Hungarian artists and writers there, such as the painter Lajos Tihanyi, writer György Bölöni, and the photographer later known as Brassai. In 1938 Elkán became a naturalized French citizen.
During World War II Elkán was captured by the Germans (at the Battle of Dunkirk) but escaped. As did many other Jewish French and Hungarians, he became a member of the French Resistance[1], under the nom de guerre Lucien Hervé, which he kept thereafter. The FTP-MOI was formed primarily from foreigners in the Paris area, many of whom were Jews from Hungary and other eastern European nations, who were in France for artistic reasons and to escape persecution in the east.
