Henri Cartier-Bresson, one of the greatest photographers of all time, quit photography in 1973 to return to his first love and passion... painting and drawing, which he did until his passing in 2004.
In Sept. 1987, Arnold Herstand & Company hosted a rare, highly publicized exhibition titled \"The Drawings of Henri Cartier-Bresson\" which a catalog book was published from the exhibition.
This original painting was purchased from the exhibition and bears the original gallery label on mat verso.
Original paintings by Cartier-Bresson are INSANELY rare and uncommon to find anywhere in public hands. Almost all of his paintings remain in the collection of the Cartier-Bresson Foundation in Paris.
