[Toulouse-Lautrec] Early photographic reproduction (heliogravure?) of a photograph depicting three men, two of whom are transvestites of women and one in military uniform. 12*17cm. We seem to recognize Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in drag (right). The latter was known to cross-dress in this way. We have found no trace of this photograph elsewhere. This document comes from gallery owner Marcel Guiot, active from 1925. A note on the back reads: "à retourner à Marcel Guiot, 4 rue Volney" (return to Marcel Guiot, 4 rue Volney). Fragile document, yellowed paper, small tears and chips in margins, reinforced spine. Rare document.

HENRI CARTIER-BRESSON (Chanteloup-en-Brie, France, 1908- Céreste, France, 2004). "Matisse", Vence, France, 1944. Gelatin silver, later printing. Signed in ink in the margin and with embossed photographer's copyright stamp (in the margin). Provenance: Reuben private collection, Chicago. Measurements: 25.3 x 37 cm (image); 31 x 40.8 cm (paper). Henri Cartier-Bresson immortalized French painter Henri Matisse in villa "Le Rêve," his home in the Alpes-Maritimes, when publisher Pierre Braun asked him to photograph writers and artists for a book project that never materialized. At the time the Fauvist painter was 70 years old and, having undergone surgery years earlier, his condition forced him to be prostrate in a chair or bed, as seen in the tendered snapshot. In Le Rêve Matisse drew and painted the white doves that flitted around his room, as well as his regular models, Micaela Avogadro and Lydia Delectorskaya. The Fauvist also spent time in his Nice apartment, where Cartier-Bresson also photographed him. Bresson himself said of these visits to the villa, "When I went to see Matisse, I sat in a corner, I didn't move, we didn't talk. It was as if we didn't exist." 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.
