STEVE MCCURRY (USA, 1950). "Afghan Girl".Peshawar, Pakistan, 1984. Chromogenic print. Annotation on the back: "Fuji color chrystal Archive Paper". Signed in ink in the margin. Provenance: Cesare Manzo Gallery, Pescara, Italy. Measurements: 45.5 x 30.5 cm (image); 49.8 x 39.5 cm (paper). "The Afghan Girl" is the best known photograph of McCurry's career, and iconic for the history of documentary photography. He took it in 1984, in the Nasir Bagh refugee camp in Pakistan during the Soviet-Afghan war. The girl, Sharbat Gula, was an Afghan refugee who had fled the violence in her country. The girl, with piercing green eyes and wrapped in a red shawl covering her shoulders and hair, captivated viewers around the world. The image appeared on the cover of the June 1985 issue of National Geographic magazine, quickly becoming one of the best known and most powerful photographs of the 20th century. The image became a symbol of the suffering and resilience of refugees and conflict in Afghanistan. It has been widely used to illustrate the plight of refugees around the world. For many years, the identity of the girl in the photograph was a mystery. In 2002, McCurry and a National Geographic team located Sharbat Gula in a remote village in Afghanistan. Her identity was confirmed by recognizing her facial features, especially her eyes. Steve McCurry is an American photojournalist, known worldwide as the author of the photograph "The Afghan Girl," which appeared in National Geographic magazine in 1985. His career as a photographer began with the Afghan War (1978-1992). He has also covered other international conflicts such as the Iraq-Iran war or the Gulf War. After working in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, for two years, he went to India to work on his own in 1978. After a year there, he traveled to northern Pakistan. His career as a photographer began with his coverage of the Soviet war. In Afghanistan McCurry disguised himself in the country's garb to go unnoticed while working, and took film out of the country by sewing it into his clothes. His images were among the first to depict the conflict and were widely circulated. That work won him the Robert Capa Gold Medal for best foreign photojournalism, and was published in The New York Times, TIME and Paris Match. McCurry continued to cover international conflicts, including the Iran-Iraq war, Beirut, Cambodia, the Philippines, the Gulf War and Afghanistan. He survived a plane crash in Yugoslavia. His work has been published in magazines worldwide, and he is a regular contributor to National Geographic. He has been a member of the Magnum agency since 1986. In his work, McCurry concentrates on the pain caused by war. He tries to show what war does, but not only on the battlefield, but also to the people who live there. He argues that there is always something in common between all humans despite religion, language, ethnicity, etc.

MARC RIBOUD (Saint-Genis-Laval, 1923-Paris, 2016). "Young girl holding a flower", Washington, 1967. Gelatin silver. Later print. Signed and dedicated "to Patrick" in ink, in the margin. Provenance: Zwigoff collection, New York. Measurements: 25 x 36 cm (image); 31 x 40.5 cm (paper). This photograph of a young woman holding a flower in front of soldiers, taken in the context of a demonstration in Washington against the Vietnam War, is one of Marc Riboud's most celebrated images. The value of the scene, in addition to the emotional force it conveys, is the ability to universalize the message of hope in the midst of the outbreak of violence. Because, in any case, it was always the human side of conflicts that Riboud claimed in his photographs as a war correspondent. Thus, while taking photographs of the war in Vietnam and the Chinese cultural revolution, he also reflected aspects of daily life in cities such as Fez, Angkor, Shaanxi or Benares. Marc Riboud was a French photographer specialized in photojournalism who was part of the Magnum agency. At the outbreak of World War II he was fighting in the Resistance so he began his engineering studies at the École Centrale de Lyon in 1945. He learned photography in a self-taught way from the age of fifteen, using a Vest Pocket Kodak camera provided by his father. After working as an engineer, in 1952 he joined the Magnum agency, after meeting Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Capa, where he made the most important reports of his career until 1979. His first photograph published in Life in 1953 was "Painter at the Eiffel Tower". He was among the first photographers allowed to enter China in 1957 and almost the only Westerner to report on the Vietnam War from North Vietnam. He has published numerous books and has exhibited his work in many cities. In 2003 he received the Cornell Capa Award from the Infinity Awards. There have been several retrospective exhibitions of his work such as the one held in 1997 in New York and in 2005 in Paris. Exhibitions (selection since 2010): 2010 Au jardin de Krishna Riboud, Musée national des Arts Asiatiques-Guimet, Paris. 2011 I comme Image, Maison européenne de la photo, Paris. 2012 During the Heritage Days', Saint-Genis-Laval. 2014-2015 Marc Riboud - Beginning of the century, Rhône-Alpes Regional Council. 2014 De grace un geste - Richard Anacreonte Museum of Modern Art, Granville.
