Obituary: Martine Franck (1938-2012)

The sad news is being  reported - and now confirmed by AP wire services - that Martine Franck, second wife of Henri Cartier-Bresson, and a Magnum photographer in her own right died yesterday afternoon. Franck was President of the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation. There are some biographical details on the Magnum Photos website: http://www.magnumphotos.com/Archive/C.aspx?VP=XSpecific_MAG.Biography_VPage&AID=2K7O3R14HF4K

  • That should have be "a retrospective".

  • Sad news indeed.  She was an outstanding photographer who will be sadly missed for her perceptive work. Hopefully the HCB Fondation will stage a rerospective of her work sometime soon.  Any excuse for a visit to Paris!!
