佛罗伦斯•亨利的作品在20世纪20年代末的前卫摄影领域占据了核心位置，这本概述性的专著向这位艺术家作出的重要贡献表达了敬意。作为在国立网球场现代美术馆举办的一场展览的配套出版物，本书概述了亨利1927年至1940年间拍摄的作品，包括她非常出名的自拍照和静物照，以及她鲜为人知的与她同龄的人的人像照、集成照片、拼贴画和纪录片作品。包豪斯的先锋艺术家：拉兹洛•莫霍利-纳吉(László Moholy-Nagy)曾说过，佛罗伦斯•亨利的照片使摄影进入了一个新阶段——这个阶段的范围在今天之前是不可想象的。除了这些照片精确的文件结构，本书还通过抽象的黑影照片和以现实为主题的照片对光效进行了研究，并从一个全新的角度探讨了空间关系、重叠和交点等领域……摄影师、艺术家和设计爱好者们仍然能从亨利身上得到鼓舞。

佛罗伦斯•亨利（1893年-1982年）最初在巴黎的现代学院（Academie Moderne）学习绘画。1928年，在德绍包豪斯学院(Dessau Bauhaus)学习了一个学期后她转攻摄影。亨利不停地拍摄照片，直到二战期间纳粹占领法国，她的摄影风格受到限制，材料也变得难以获取。于是她把注意力放到了抽象画上，并一直画到她去世（20世纪八十年代初）。

Florence Henri's work occupied a central place in the world of avant-garde photography in the late 1920s and this survey pays homage to the artist's essential contribution. Accompanying an exhibition at the Jeu de Paume, the volume offers an overview of Henri's work produced between 1927 and 1940, including her iconic self-portraits and still lifes as well as her lesser-known portraits of her contemporaries, photomontages, collages and documentary work. László Moholy-Nagy declared that "with Florence Henri's photos, photographic practice enters a new phase-the scope of which would have been unimaginable before today. Above and beyond the precise and exact documentary composition of these highly defined photos, research into the effects of light is tackled not only through abstract photograms, but also in photos of real-life subjects Reflections and spatial relationships, superposition and intersections are just some of the areas explored from a totally new perspective...." Henri remains an inspiration for photographers, artists and design enthusiasts alike.

Florence Henri (1893-1982) initially studied painting at the Academie Moderne in Paris. In 1928 she turned to photography after spending a semester at the Dessau Bauhaus. Henri continued to make photographs until World War II when the Nazi occupation of France forbade her photographic style and materials became difficult to source. She turned her attention to abstract painting and continued to paint until her death in the early 1980s.
