Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908–2004) was a French photographer widely regarded as one of the pioneers of modern photojournalism. Born on August 22, 1908, in Chanteloup-en-Brie, France, Cartier-Bresson played a crucial role in shaping the field of documentary photography and the art of capturing "the decisive moment."Here are some key points about Henri Cartier-Bresson:1. **Founding Member of Magnum Photos:** Henri Cartier-Bresson co-founded Magnum Photos in 1947 along with Robert Capa, David Seymour, George Rodger, and William Vandivert. Magnum is a renowned international photographic cooperative.2. **"Decisive Moment":** Cartier-Bresson is famous for coining the term "the decisive moment" (French: "le moment décisif"). This concept emphasizes capturing the perfect moment when all elements of a scene come together to create a compelling and powerful image.3. **Early Life and Painting:** Before turning to photography, Cartier-Bresson studied painting. He was influenced by Surrealism and the works of artists like André Breton and Pablo Picasso. His early interest in the visual arts contributed to the composition and aesthetics of his photographs.4. **Travel Photography:** Cartier-Bresson traveled extensively throughout his career, capturing moments from different cultures and countries. His travels took him to places such as India, China, the United States, and the Soviet Union.5. **Capturing History:** Cartier-Bresson documented many significant events in the 20th century, including the Spanish Civil War, the liberation of Paris, the funeral of Mahatma Gandhi, and the Chinese Civil War.6. **Book Publications:** Cartier-Bresson published several books, including "The Decisive Moment" ("Images à la sauvette"), which became a classic in the field of photography. His other notable books include "The World of Henri Cartier-Bresson" and "Europeans."7. **Film:** In addition to photography, Cartier-Bresson worked in the film industry. He directed several documentaries, including "Victoire de la Vie" and "Southern Exposures."8. **Awards and Honors:** Cartier-Bresson received numerous awards for his contributions to photography, including the Overseas Press Club Award, the Hasselblad Award, and the Grand Prix National de la Photographie in France.9. **Later Years and Legacy:** In his later years, Cartier-Bresson focused more on drawing and painting. He passed away on August 3, 2004, in Montjustin, France. His legacy lives on through his iconic photographs, his influence on photojournalism, and the enduring impact of Magnum Photos.Henri Cartier-Bresson's work continues to inspire generations of photographers, and his contributions to the art of photography have left an indelible mark on the medium. His ability to capture the essence of a moment with precision and artistry remains a benchmark for photographers around the world.Verso is blank.

A print of an image by photographer John Rowlands depicting David Bowie onstage Feb 26th 1976 in Toronto, Canada at Maple Leaf Gardens. Signed by John Rowlands. Measures 17x22". Excellent condition, printed onto fine art paper."This iconic image of David Bowie as The Thin White Duke was taken by renowned Rock photographer, John Rowlands, on February 26th, 1976, at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Canada. Having seen the previous evening’s show on the 1976 Station To Station tour, Rowlands was primed to capture the image of Bowie as The Archer while the singer was preparing to fire his imaginary bow and arrow. The pose was used as a signal for Bowie's lighting engineer to kill the lights. The picture was taken moments before the lights were killed. Rowlands took the shot about 30 feet away from the stage and he credits his Hasselblad camera for producing an image that is striking in its sharp tonal range of whites, blacks and grays".
Robert Mapplethorpe (November 4, 1946 – March 9, 1989) was an American photographer known for his controversial and often provocative works. He gained significant recognition for his black-and-white photographs that explored themes such as sexuality, eroticism, and the human form. Mapplethorpe's work became a central part of the late 20th-century art scene, and his legacy continues to influence contemporary photography.Key points about Robert Mapplethorpe:1. **Early Life:** Robert Mapplethorpe was born in Floral Park, New York, and grew up in a Catholic family. He studied at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, where he initially focused on drawing, painting, and sculpture.2. **Transition to Photography:** Mapplethorpe began experimenting with photography in the early 1970s, initially using a Polaroid camera. He later acquired a Hasselblad medium-format camera, which became his primary tool for creating his iconic images.3. **New York City Art Scene:** In the early 1970s, Mapplethorpe immersed himself in the vibrant art scene of New York City. He developed friendships with artists, musicians, and cultural figures, establishing a presence in the bohemian atmosphere of the time.4. **Subject Matter:** Mapplethorpe's work often focused on the male nude, flowers, and BDSM (bondage, discipline, dominance, submission) imagery. His photographs were marked by a formalist aesthetic, showcasing a strong sense of composition and attention to detail.5. **The Perfect Moment:** Mapplethorpe's first major solo exhibition, titled "The Perfect Moment," took place at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia in 1988. The exhibition included some of his most controversial and explicit works, leading to debates about public funding for the arts.6. **Controversy:** Mapplethorpe's exploration of sexuality and taboo subjects generated considerable controversy, especially during the culture wars of the 1980s. His work became a focal point in debates about government funding for the arts and issues related to censorship.7. **Legacy:** Despite the controversies surrounding his work, Mapplethorpe's legacy as a photographer is significant. His images are celebrated for their technical excellence and aesthetic beauty, and he is considered one of the most important photographers of the late 20th century.8. **Documentary:** In 2016, a documentary titled "Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures" was released. The documentary, directed by Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, explores Mapplethorpe's life, art, and impact on contemporary culture.9. **Foundation:** The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, established after the artist's death, works to preserve and promote his legacy. It supports photography, art, and medical research, reflecting Mapplethorpe's diverse interests.10. **Health and Death:** Mapplethorpe's life was cut short by complications from HIV/AIDS. He died on March 9, 1989, at the age of 42. His battle with AIDS and his decision to continue creating art while facing his illness added another layer of complexity to his legacy.Robert Mapplethorpe's work continues to be exhibited in major museums and galleries worldwide. His impact on the art world, particularly in the realm of photography and visual arts, remains profound.Measures 24 x 24.
