Text on the archival label attached to the back of the print: “Probably, no photographer has influenced me for as long as Henri Cartier-Bresson. For some 50 years, I’ve been drawn to his early, pre-war work with its surreal ambiguity. However, ever since I first saw my father’s copy of The Decisive Moment in the late 1960s, I’ve been uneasy with the title. The notion of a ‘decisive moment’ seems just too pat, too unpoetic for such a complicated vision. Years later, it was gratifying to discover that the original French title was Images à la Sauvette—’Images on the Sly’—a humbler notion more in the spirit of his early street photographs, work that embraces the mystery and uncertainty of collaborating with the world. ‘It is the photo that takes you,’ as he once said. There are many photographs of mine that have ‘taken’ me. I chose Havana, 1993 because Cuba, then, seemed suspended in time, echoing the feel of the Spanish streets in the 1930s that Cartier-Bresson photographed so memorably. I suspect that the Cartier-Bresson I knew would have been skeptical of the color of this homage to him— but I’d like to think his younger, surrealistic self would have at least appreciated the two boys in the background with that soccer ball hovering overhead, out of reach forever.” — Alex Webb Please note: The product images you see here are photographs of the actual prints for sale.

Text on the archival label attached to the back of the print: “The sad, vibrant, tragic, beguiling country of Haiti has been key to my photography. After reading Graham Greene’s The Comedians — a novel set in Haiti that both fascinated and scared me — I made my first trip in 1975. But, photographing in black and white, I soon realized that something was missing: I wasn’t capturing a sense of the searing light and the heat — physical and, perhaps, metaphysical — of this country, so different than the grey-brown reticence of New England, where I grew up. I wasn’t dealing with the emotional intensity of my experience of this vivid and troubled land. So, when I returned to Haiti four years later, I decided to work in color. As I wandered through the porticos of downtown Port au Prince in 1979, I remember spotting this man with a bouquet of bulrushes — strikingly outlined against a vibrant red wall — just as a second man, in shadow, rushed by. I took the photograph and slowly began to realize it was time to leave black and white behind.” — Alex Webb The first photo is the image Magnum used during their sale, the second and third photos are of the actual print.

Text on the archival label attached to the back of the print: French poet, artist and filmmaker Jean Cocteau with actress Ricki Soma and dancer Leo Coleman. New York City. USA. 1949. “For one incredible night, Halsman and Cocteau came together and created magic. It was 1949, and Cocteau was in NYC to promote his new film, ‘The Eagle Has Two Heads.’ Life magazine asked him to visit Halsman’s studio. The two artists had briefly crossed paths in Paris in the 1930s, resulting in a few backstage theatre shots. But now Halsman was at the height of his career, and was looking forward to capturing the creative genius of Cocteau. Halsman assembled various elements for the shoot: 12 doves, a snake, an anatomical torso, and two dancers; Ricki Soma and Leo Coleman. At first Cocteau was a reserved, yet willing actor. He followed Halsman’s directions, posed, and then asked what to do next. Halsman recalled the shoot’s early stages: ‘To my immense disappointment I saw that instead of becoming the instrument of his imagination he was ready to be the instrument of mine.’ It was only in the early hours of the following day that Cocteau began to warm up and become more playful, and the imaginations of the pair merged as one. Cocteau is shown as an artist with his subject in a frame, yet simultaneously he is the subject of the frame of Halsman’s lens. Art had come to life.” — Oliver Halsman Rosenberg, Estate of Philippe Halsman The photos are of the actual print.

Text on the archival label attached to the back of the print: Bob Dylan, sitting on his equipment truck. Woodstock, New York, USA. 1968. “I was asked to photograph Dylan for the cover of The Saturday Evening Post. I drove up from NYC to his house in Woodstock and was briefly introduced by a friend, who quickly sped off, leaving me alone with the most famous and mysterious person of my generation. Bob told me how much he liked my photos of The Band, grabbed his guitar and began playing while I took pictures. He wandered around his property and I followed with my camera, expecting perfect moments to appear by themselves. It occurred to me that millions of people would be thrilled to be ten feet away from Dylan while he was playing and singing but it felt normal to me. I was only focused on composing good images. Although he was comfortable with me, he was nervous in front of the camera, and his uneasiness made it difficult for me. I was never the kind of photographer who talked people into feeling good. I let them be the way they were and photographed it. Because I flowed with whatever mood the subject was in, rather than trying to change how they were feeling, the person usually relaxed after a while and the photograph emerged.” — Elliott Landy The first photo is the image Magnum used during their sale, the second and third photos are of the actual print.
