Yesterday I visited the Jacques Henri Lartigue exhibition in La Hulpe (south of Brussels). Very worthwhile, not only photografically but also the extensive explanations at the photos gave a lot of new (to me) insights in his life. Tomorrow is the last day of this exhibition, so if you're interested you need to be swift!
As you may know Lartigue was obsessed with trying to capture speed in a static photo. Here's two well known examples, the first with gravel flying around and the second a demonstration what a slow focal plane shutter does with a fast moving racecar while panning. They put these on a slanted panel which I thought was a nice touch, because Lartige often slanted his photos in order to increase the sense of speed, allthough these two examples seem quite straight.

Indeed, and Folon was also a gifted painter, aquarelist, poster designer and sculptor (and more), a true all-round creative artist!
Another Folon sculpture between mirrors, with some of his poster designs in the background:
