HENRI CARTIER-BRESSON (Chanteloup-en-Brie, France, 1908- Céreste, France, 2004). "Hyères, France, 1932. Gelatin silver. Later impression. Signed in ink and with photographer's copyright stamp (in margin). Provenance: Bennett Private Collection, New York. The Pompidou Center has a copy of this photograph. Measurements: 25 x 36 cm (image); 31 x 41 cm (paper). Taken at the age of 24, when Henri Cartier Bresson had just bought his small Leica camera, this snapshot becomes one of his best known images and one of the most expensive auctioned by the artist. It shows the speed and mobility that this camera gave to freeze the movement and the fleeting moment with endless aesthetic possibilities. Henri Cartier-Bresson was a French artist and humanist photographer considered a master of photography and one of the first users of 35 mm film. He pioneered the genre of street photography and considered photography as capturing a decisive moment. His first major reportage trip took him to the Ivory Coast in 1931.Photographs from his many travels quickly found a forum in magazines and exhibitions. He also gained experience in New York with Paul Strand. In the late summer of 1937, before the battle of Belchite, he traveled to Spain with Herbert Kline, former editor of New Theater magazine, and cameraman Jacques Lemare to shoot a documentary on the American Medical Bureau during the Spanish Civil War. They filmed at Villa Paz, the International Brigades hospital in Saelices, not far from Madrid, and on the coast of Valencia to document the recovery of wounded volunteers in the villas of Benicàssim. They also visited the Abraham Lincoln Brigade in Quinto, near Zaragoza, and shot the film With the Abraham Lincoln Brigade in Spain. From 1937 to 1939, Cartier-Bresson was assistant director on three films by Jean Renoir, including The Rules of the Game. In 1940, he spent nearly three years as a prisoner of war in Germany. After it was erroneously assumed that he had died in the war, the Museum of Modern Art in New York dedicated a major "posthumous" retrospective to Cartier-Bresson in 1947. That same year, together with Robert Capa, David Seymour and George Rodger, he founded the Magnum Photos agency in New York with the aim of preserving the rights to the photographers' work.Cartier-Bresson was the first photographer allowed to exhibit at the Louvre in Paris in 1955. His photographs were collected and published in Images à la sauvette (1952, Images in passing), D'une Chine à l'autre (1968, China yesterday and today) and Moscou (1955, Moscow), among others. Cartier-Bresson stopped taking professional photographs in 1972 and devoted himself intensely to the art of drawing. In 1974 he was elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

ROBERT MOTHERWELL (United States, 1915-United States 1991). "Samurai", 1971 Lithograph on Japan Suzuki paper. Hand signed by the artist. Label by Brooke Alexander on the back. Measurements: 200 x 160 cm; 216 x 124 cm (frame). "Samurai" is a paradigm of Motherwell's work: an aggressive black form from which explosions and slashes radiate. It is one of Motherwell's most potent images, invoking elements of sexuality in the phallic abstract form and violence through the title. Although it is difficult to decipher the traces of figuration in Motherwell's work, he was inspired by and referenced literature, life, politics. A multidisciplinary artist, he trained at Stanford and Harvard Universities in Philosophy and at Columbia University in History and Art, under the direction of Meyer Schapiro. He was one of the leading representatives of American abstract expressionism, to whose group of founders he belongs along with Pollock, Arshile Gorky and Rothko. He also excelled as an art critic. He wrote numerous articles in avant-garde magazines and edited books such as "Documents of Modern Art" (1944-1961) or "Documents of 20th Century Art" (1971). He was a member of the editorial board of the Surrealist-linked publication "VVVV", Motherwell's main objective was to show the viewer the artist's mental and physical engagement with the canvas. He used the hardness of the color black as a basic element; one of his best known techniques consisted of diluting the paint with turpentine to create a shadow effect. His series of paintings known as "Elegies to the Spanish Republic" (Elegy to the Spanish Republic) is considered his most significant project. Among his many exhibitions, we can highlight his participation in the most important surrealist exhibition in the United States organized by André Breton, Marcel Duchamp and gallery owner Sidney Janis at the Whitelaw Reid Mansion (Manhattan-1942). Also the exhibition held at the Gallery "Art of this Century" (New York) in 1943 directed by Peggy Guggenheim; in which he participated along with Jackson Pollock and Baziotes. The following year the Museum of Modern Art in New York acquired one of his works; he was subsequently included in several exhibitions at the same Museum. In 1980, Robert Motherwell had his first exhibition in Spain at the Fundación Juan March (Madrid). In 1986, he received the Gold Medal for Merit in the Fine Arts, Spain's highest cultural award. In 1989, the National Medal of Arts of the United States, the Museum of Modern Art in Fort Worth (USA) houses the largest collection of works by Motherwell. In the Empire State Plaza (New York) you can also find some of his works. The Walker Art Center (Minneapolis, USA) has an almost exhaustive collection of his prints. In addition to the representation in numerous museums, public and private collections and in the most prestigious galleries around the world.
