Taken by Henri Cartier-Bresson in, 1959. 6" x 9". Framed under museum glass, With Cartier-Bresson's atelier stamp on the verso. Inscribed on the verso by Cartier-Bresson to Liebling and his wife, the novelist Jean Stafford: "A Jean et Joe / avec toute mon amitie / Henri / NY, Aout 1960." The photograph depicts Liebling, seated in a chair, benignly regarding the camera. Reproduced as the dust jacket illustration of Liebling's 1961 book, The Earl of Louisiana.
An epic association of surpassing interest. Both Liebling and Cartier-Bresson were World War II correspondents who covered the liberation of Paris in 1944. Liebling reported from the front lines in Europe, while Cartier-Bresson was an active member of the French Resistance. The photograph is part of the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection. Framed under museum glass. Fine.
