Marc Riboud (1923–2016) - Flower Child, 1967

Marc Riboud, Flower Child, 1967. One of Marc Riboud’s most searing photographs appeared in the pages of TIME Magazine in 1967: the image of Jan Rose Kasmir, a 17-year-old student, during an anti–Vietnam War protest at the Pentagon. In it, she holds a serene gaze and a single chrysanthemum, just inches away from the soldiers’ bayonets. Tension and tenderness merge in an instant that transcended as a universal symbol of pacifism. This duality —fragility against military power— defines much of Riboud’s most iconic work. 'Marc Riboud copyright Magnum Photos' in lower right corner. Photolithography on 10" x 7.5" glossy photo paper. Fine condition. Printed Lated, 2000's. Flower Child became not only a cultural emblem but also one of the most recognizable images of 20th-century documentary photography. Marc Riboud is regarded as one of the most influential photographers of his generation, alongside legendary names such as: Man Ray, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Werner Bischof, Robert Capa, Elliott Erwitt, Alfred Stieglitz, Diane Arbus, Eve Arnold, Cindy Sherman, Horst P. Horst, Irving Penn, Robert Mapplethorpe, Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, Sebastião Salgado, Steve McCurry, Herb Ritts, Josef Koudelka, Bruce Davidson, Nan Goldin, William Klein, among many others.
