Marc Riboud - Flower Child, 1967
Marc Riboud, Flower Child, 1967.
One of his most searing photographs ended up in the pages of TIME Magazine in 1967: an image of 17-year-old high-school student Jan Rose Kasmir in the thick of an anti-Vietnam War protest at the Pentagon. In it, she holds a serene gaze and a single chrysanthemum inches away from a legion of soldiers whose bayonets nearly graze her body.
Digital print on 10" x 7.5" glossy photo paper from the Magnum Photos archive.

Fine condition (with small imperfections).
The photograph, Flower Child, crystallized a moment when extreme tension and tenderness mingled. This combination powers much of Riboud’s most iconic work. It instantly became a global pacifist symbol.
One of the great photojournalists of the 20th century along with Jacob Riis, Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Werner Bischof, Erich Salomon, Carl Mydans, Donald McCullin, James Nachtwey, Steve McCurry, Lynsey Addario, among many others.
