Full title: "Côte d'Azur, Var, Saint Tropez, 1959", With his unerring eye and his ever-present sense of humour, Cartier-Bresson captured this brilliant moment as a couple perform the age old wooing ritual with a male trying to impress a young female and have his wicked way with her. Meanwhile, behind them a young human couple are engaged in exactly the same "dance"!
Taken c.1955 and printed in 1960, this superb photograph looks like a rich platinum print with warm tones and a fantastic tonal range. A genuine vintage photogravure, archivally mounted on 100% acid-free board and in a black 8"x10" wooden frame.
