Elliott Erwitt: Last Laughs

Legendary photographer Elliott Erwitt was a master of capturing humor in everyday life. Last Laughs, his final self-curated collection before his passing in 2023, is a witty and nostalgic tribute to his signature black-and-white photography.

From street scenes to celebrities like Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy, and his beloved dog portraits, Erwitt’s playful yet poignant perspective shaped contemporary photography. A must-have coffee table book, Last Laughs celebrates his enduring legacy—with a wink and a smile.

Elliott Erwitt, who was born in Paris in 1928 to Russian parents, came to the U.S. in the late 1930s. After establishing himself as a magazine photographer over the next decade and a half, he joined the renowned Magnum photo agency in 1953. In addition to his work for magazines, he also had great success as an advertising photographer. Elliott Erwitt died at the end of November 2023 at the age of 95.
