HENRI CARTIER-BRESSON ( Chanteloup-en-Brie, France, 1908- Céreste, France, 2004). "Farmer", 1950-1959. Gelatin silver. Later print. "To Madame Bardinet en hommage" and blind copyright credit stamp (in margin). Signed in ink. Provenance: Alona Kagan Gallery NY. Measurements: 16 x 23, 5 cm. In this work of great expressiveness we see how a farmer reaches out his hand to someone who is outside the viewer's plane. The scene seems to represent a traditional image, but the artist goes further, not only because it captures a completely ephemeral moment, usual in the artist's production, but also because of the mystery of a character who is part of the scene, but whose identity is not revealed. 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 a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His work is in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art, the International Center of Photography, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the J. Paul Getty Museum.

Painting, Certificated by Archive Height: 58 cm, Width: 42 cm, Depth: 1 cm Rare and beautiful painted work by Fortunato Depero from 1948. The work bears the Signature in the lower left-hand corner. Work archived at the Archivio Unico per il catalogo delle opere futuriste di Fortunato Depero by Maurizio Scudiero, Rovereto, as per the attached photographic documentation with the relative inventory number. At that time, Depero was fascinated by American architects and building sites. In his notes, he wrote that it took a sharp mind to draw and design such acoustics and so, having to imagine and depict a typical American engineer, Depero imagined him like this with a halo of disks on his head. Depero's paintings are a reflection of the futurist evolution and present a strong expressive energy through the use of colour and geometric shapes, two typical elements in the works of the second part of the art movement. His paintings are a veritable hymn to colour and light as we will see in our selection.The Defects.Dimensions of the painting without frame: 36.00 x 52.00 cm.

Hu Zhengyan - The Shi Zhu Zhai Notebook - Shi zhu zhai jian pu - The Book of the Ten Bamboo Study Room. Four volumes with woodcut, ink and color on paper, illustrated with 283 color woodcuts; text in Chinese. Beijing, published by Rong bao zhai xin ji 1952, first edition. Double-sided leaves bound in Chinese style in original silk-bound case with bone clamps. 31.5 x 21 cm. - Originally compiled by the seal carver Hu Zhengyan (1584-1674) from the Ming dynasty, the work was first printed on poetry paper around 1644. It contains characters from the ancient classics and is completed by blind embossing and printed in multiple colors. The techniques developed promoted the art of printing at this time. Only a few copies of the original survived. One was later discovered by the historian Zheng Zhenduo and the writer Lu Xun and became the master copy of the Republic, which was reprinted by Zheng Zhenduo in the 1930s. However, this edition was incomplete due to the poor condition of the original text. The 1952 print by the Rong Bao Zhai studio in Beijing is a faithful reproduction of the 17th century edition made from recut blocks and even with the blind-stamping technique of the gauffrage (gonghua "embossed pattern" or "arched pattern").
