Painting is expression. Not description - i.e. that in a mute language, and through a limited medium - brush or pencil - an event is recorded. But there is no way of summoning such an event. It summons. And there is no way of expressing beyond it or more than the medium permits. The medium dictates the language and the event shapes the expression.— Avigdor Arikha, in ‘Facing Mount Zion - Seven Lithographs’ (Gordon Galleries, Tel Aviv, 1978)

“I was able to photograph Henri Cartier-Bresson because of the graciousness of Martine Franck. As I rang the bell to their apartment, overlooking the Tuileries, to say that I was nervous would be a complete understatement. The door opened for me and there was Martine — beautiful, warm and welcoming. She talked with me first and said no way should I use flash.
She then introduced me to Cartier-Bresson who was sitting at a table in their apartment. I was surprised there were no photographs of his or Martine’s on the walls, but there was the Leica camera next to him on the table. I asked if I could photograph them together and they graciously agreed. I witnessed the love and closeness they shared with one another.”

“They went on their terrace and when he was tired and had enough of me, he smiled and waved me away. He was tired when I was leaving and I took this photograph of him as he was rubbing his eyes.”
