LOS ANGELES, CA.-
 The 16th Annual Los Angeles Art Show, taking place January 19-23 at the Los Angeles Convention Center will debut a special exhibit of never before seen works by master photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson. Titled “Rarely / Unseen” the exhibit is curated by Peter Fetterman, owner of Peter Fetterman Gallery and will feature more than 35 photographs that have never been printed before. Fetterman, a former colleague of Cartier-Bresson, encouraged the artist to print a selection of unreleased images including photographs of Queen Charlotte’s Ball and the Bolshoi Ballet. This private collection of less familiar gems, amassed over a twenty-year period, will be on display for the first time throughout the duration of the Los Angeles Art Show. A 2006 documentary based on Cartier-Bresson titled “The Impassioned Eye” will run in conjunction with the exhibit.
