Elephanta, near Bombay, 1953 Tirée par l'artiste à Paris, 1955 Grande épreuve argentique, 290x196 mm, parmi quelques unes tirées par le photographe lui-même au début de sa carrière, ainsi qu' il l'a écrit au dos du montage : This photograph has been taken in 1953, on the island of Elephenta near bombay. The print was probably made in 1955, in Paris, and probably by myself-in which case it is one of the very few photos that I have printed myself. To my knowledge, there is no other vintage print of this image. Boulogne, 24 March 2011. Frank Horvat Elephanta, near Bombay, 1953 Printed by the artist in Paris, 1955. Vintage gelatin silver exhibition print, mounted on card, signed and with a long caption by the photographer : This photograph has been taken in 1953, on the island of Elephenta near bombay. The print was probably made in 1955, in Paris, and probably by myself-in which case it is one of the very few photos that I have printed myself. To my knowledge, there is no other vintage print of this image. Boulogne, 24 March 2011. Frank Horvat During my long life I have become a widower three times, each time after a long happy marriage, the last to photographer Tana Hoban, who died in January, 2006. A year ago, in my 94th year, a new love entered my life, bringing to this last chapter great happiness. My new love is the widow of a French diplomat, and they both, Jean and Pat Trocmé, were longtime friends of Tana and mine. The Trocmés' first post together was in India, just after Independence in the early fifties. Among the many people they met there was a young Italian photographer named Frank Horvat He gave them this print of his extraordinary photograph of the Trimurti, a sculpture of the three aspects of the Hindu God Siva, which he took in the Great Cave Temple of Siva on the island of Elephanta in the Bombay harbor. Pat and I never cease discovering people, events and wonders which have been part of each of our lives and now merge as one. One such person was Frank Horvat who came into my life also, later in the fifties as a prospective member of Magnum. Pat contributed this beautiful photograph by Frank to add to the many photographs that have come into my life through the years, to express our mutual gratitude for all that has been given to us during our long lives.
