4th of July (Cape Cod Massachusetts 1947) Photograph by Henri Cartier-Bresson
About the Item
From a personal collection, rare and wonderful original photogravure by Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908 - 2004) from 1952 entitled: -4th of July (Cape Cod Massachusetts 1947) - magnificently printed on paper and in excellent condition (the sheet has never been exhibited and shows no signs of stickers or glue!) The photo is sold including its museum-quality passe-partout and certificate of authenticity. Image size 345x233 mm Sheet size 357x239 mm Passepartout dimensions 50x40cm Born in Chanteloup, Seine-et-Marne, in 1908, Henri Cartier-Bresson developed a strong fascination with painting from an early age, particularly Surrealism. In 1932, after spending a year in the Ivory Coast, he discovered the Leica, his later camera of choice, and began a lifelong passion for photography. He had his first exhibition at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York in 1933. Taken prisoner of war in 1940, he escaped on his third attempt in 1943 and later joined a clandestine organization to assist prisoners and escapees. In 1945, he photographed the Liberation of Paris with a group of professional journalists.
In 1947, with Robert Capa, George Rodger, David “Chim” Seymour and William Vandivert, he founded Magnum Photos. After three years of traveling in the East, he returned to Europe in 1952, where he published his first book, Images à la Sauvette (published in English as The Decisive Moment). He explained his approach to photography this way: “For me, the camera is a sketchbook, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the moment which, in visual terms, simultaneously questions and decides… It is through economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression.”
