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.

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."

FRATELLI ALINARI (19th) Circle, Park Villa Giulia, Palermo, around 1880, albumen paper print Fratelli Alinari (19th century) Circle: Sicily: Villa Giulia in Palermo, view of the park and the neoclassical exedras, c. 1880, albumen paper print Technique: albumen paper print, mounted on Cardboard Inscription: Inscribed in the centre below. Date: c. 1880 Description: Villa Giulia was built outside the city walls in 1778 and was Palermo's first public park. The park takes its name from Giulia, the wife of the then Viceroy Guevara. About the photographers or photographer's circle: Original photography with high sharpness of detail. An early testimony of travel photography. Around the middle of the 19th century, more and more tourists from middle-class circles travelled to Italy. At that time, photographs could only be taken with a great deal of time and expensive, unwieldy equipment. This made many tourists all the more grateful for the work of the professional photographer's studios on site to bring back a souvenir from afar for those who stayed at home or to collect as souvenirs. Famous photographers such as Carlo Naya, Giorgio Sommer or the Alinari brothers photographed the most famous sights of their home towns and went on journeys themselves to photograph the most popular destinations of their clients and offer them as albumen prints. Ancient art treasures were also photographed and offered to travellers. The high-quality photographs of sculptures and frescoes continued to make an important contribution to documenting art treasures and making them accessible to scholars from all over Europe, who previously had to rely on tracings or engravings if they could not view the original for themselves. "Fratelli Alinari" in Florence are the oldest photographic company still in existence in the world: founded in 1852, a good two decades after the French inventor Joseph Nicéphore Niépce succeeded in capturing an image on a tin plate. The Alinari brothers were Romualdo (1830-1891), Leopoldo (1832-1865) and Guiseppe (1836-1892). Leopoldo began taking photographs in the daguerreotype era and worked for the lithographer Guiseppe Bardi, with whom he set up a joint photographic studio in 1850. In 1854, Leopoldo bought Bardi's shares and, together with his brothers, founded the Fratelli Alinari studio. It became one of the most important Italian studios of the 19th century and later one of the largest photo archives in the world, which still exists today.
