Chou En-lai, 1965 Tirée par l'artiste pour John, 1967 Épreuve argentique d'époque sur papier fort, 170x249 mm, signée, tampons divers Chou En-lai, 1965 Printed by the artist for John at NYC in 1967 Vintage gelatin silver double-weight print, 170x249 mm, signed, artist and Magnum-NYT loan wetstamps verso Marc gave me this print of Chou when I was the Picture Editor of The New York Times. Marc Riboud is the most illustrious survivor of my generation of photojournalists- by whom I mean picture editors as well as photographers. I have never tired of working with Marc and take pride in being the one who first noticed the image of a graceful Eiffel Tower painter in Marc's contacts - and sold it as a full page to Life. We have been close for more than a half century. Marc came into Magnum as a protegé of Henri Cartier-Bresson both came from distinguished French families. Marc soon showed that he deserved to make it on his own. Capa suggested that he work in England for a while, to improve his English. Marc's most important work has been in the Far East, bridging the gap between East and West. At Magnum, I was privileged to edit the photos he took on his first trip to China. I also ran three major stories of Marc's in my IPS Contact Sheet. I used this portrait of Chou En-lai to illustrate an interview made by Edgar Snow, an American journalist who chronicled the rise of Communist China under Mao.
