Christian Bérard, First Hotel, Paris
Henri Cartier-Bresson French
Not on view
In addition to the remarkable street photographs he made across Europe with a 35mm camera in the early 1930s, Cartier-Bresson made candid portraits of friends and acquaintances, such as this picture of the disheveled neo-Romantic painter and designer for the theater (1902-1949) swaddled in bedcovers and lying next to his valise-the idea of sleep and dreams as the artist's field of research and font of inspiration that recalls the sign that André Breton hung outside his bedroom each night: "Quiet Please. Poet at Work."
