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 journey in 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 Théâtre du Soleil from its beginnings in 1964 until her death. After joining the Vu agency, Franck helped found Viva in 1972. She produced numerous portraits of artists and writers, including a remarkable series of women for Vogue. She undertook more in-depth work for the French Ministry of Women's Rights in 1983. The same year, she became a full member of Magnum Photos. From 1985, Franck collaborated with the International Federation of the Little Brothers of the Poor, an NGO that cares for elderly people and the social excluded. In 1993, Franck first visited Tory Island off the northwest coast of Ireland, where she studied daily life in a traditional Gaelic-speaking community isolated from the mainland. She later traveled 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 met the Tulkus, the young lamas believed to be the reincarnations of great spiritual masters of antiquity. In 2002, she co-founded the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation in Paris with Henri Cartier-Bresson and their daughter Mélanie, of which she became President in 2004. Martine Franck died in Paris on August 16, 2012.
