HISTORY
The artist is unknown. They have taken inspiration from Cartier-Bresson, who had returned from Africa in 1931, and started a professional career as a photographer the same year, both artistically and as a photojournalist. He was in a holiday in Hyeres, southern France, in 1932, when he took this photograph. He was influenced in his sense of composition by Cubist painting, in particular his lessons with French painter Andre Lhote, Surrealism and the work of fellows photographers like Andre Kertesz.
