RIP Martine Franck

Postby Walter Glover » 18 Aug 2012, 08:20

Martine Franck died yesterday, after a protracted illness. She was 74. Franck joined the Vu Agency in the 1960s, and became a full member of Magnum Photos in 1983. She was Henri Cartier-Bresson's second wife and President of the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation.
