About the artist :
Born in Belgium in 1938, Martine Franck grew up in the United States and England. She studied art history at the University of Madrid and at the École du Louvre in Paris. After a trip to the Far East with Ariane Mnouchkine in 1963-1964, she worked at Time-Life in Paris as an assistant to photographers Eliot Elisofon and Gjon Mili. Her friendship with Ariane Mnouchkine also led her to follow the Théâtre du Soleil from its beginnings in 1964 until her death.
After joining the Vu agency, Franck contributed to the founding of the Viva agency in 1972. She created numerous portraits of artists and writers, including a remarkable series of women for Vogue. In 1983, she undertook more in-depth work for the French Ministry of Women's Rights. That same year, she became a full member of Magnum Photos. From 1985, Franck collaborated with the International Federation of Little Brothers of the Poor, a non-governmental organization that cares for the elderly and socially excluded individuals. It was in 1993 that Franck first traveled to Tory Island, off the northwest coast of Ireland. There, she studied the daily life of a traditional Gaelic-speaking community separated from the mainland.
She then travels to Asia to meet Tibetan Buddhist children in India and Nepal. With the help of Marilyn Silverstone, a former Magnum Photos member who became a Buddhist nun, she meets the Tulkus, these young lamas believed to be the reincarnations of great spiritual masters from antiquity.
In 2002, she founded the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation in Paris with Henri Cartier-Bresson and their daughter Mélanie, becoming President of the foundation in 2004.
Martine Franck died in Paris on August 16, 2012.
