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.”

Robert Frank Untitled from the Americans, 1958, Beats Culture, Black & White
By Robert Frank
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Robert Frank Untitled from the Americans, 1958, Beats Culture, Black & White.
Photogravure print, mid-century, France,wax tissue mounted on conservation matboard.
Influenced by the work of Jakob Tuggener and Bill Brandt, as well as Walker Evans, Frank, a native of Switzerland, Frank was fascinated by documentary photography and the notion and image of "America." Frank secured a Guggenheim fellowship in 1955 to do something new and unconstrained by commercial diktats. "The Americans" was first published in 1958 in France, before its first run in the US in 1959. The photographs were shocking and notable for their distanced view of both high and low strata of American society, creating a complicated portrait of a period that was, then and now, considered to be a skeptical portrait of post-WWII American values but also deeply empathetic and profoundly evocative of ubiquitous loneliness.
Frank found a tension in the gloss of American culture and wealth over race and class differences, which gave his photographs a clear contrast to those of most contemporary American photojournalists, as did his use of unusual focus, low lighting and cropping that deviated from accepted photographic techniques.
Shortly before the book was published in France, Frank returned to the US (1957) and met Jack Kerouac on the sidewalk outside a party. They started chatting. Frank showed him some of his photographs. Kerouac immediately told Frank "Sure, I can write something about these pictures." Kerouac would write the introduction to the American edition of the book, published two years later.
