Later career
Cartier-Bresson's photography took him to many countries, including China, Mexico, Canada, the United States, India, Japan, Portugal, and the Soviet Union. In the post-war Soviet Union, he was the first Western photographer to photograph "freely" in the post-war Soviet Union.
In 1962, he travelled to Sardinia for about 20 days on behalf of Vogue. He visited Nuoro, Oliena, Orgosolo Mamoiada Desulo, Orosei, Cala Gonone, Orani, Nivola, San Leonardo di Siete Fuentes, and Cagliari.
Cartier-Bresson departed in 1966 to concentrate on portraiture and landscapes, although Magnum (which also sells his photographs) focuses on portraiture and landscapes.
Ratna, his first wife of 30 years, was divorced in 1967 (known as "Elie"). In 1968, he began to turn away from photography and back to drawing and painting. He confessed that perhaps he had said all he could do by photography. In 1970, he married Magnum photographer Martine Franck, thirty years younger than himself. In May 1972, the couple had Mélanie, who had a daughter.
Cartier-Bresson retired from photography in the early 1970s, and by 1975, no more photos other than a rare private portrait were taken; he said he held his camera in a safe at his house and rarely took it out. He returned to drawing, mainly using pencil, pen, and ink, as well as painting. In 1975, he had his first exhibition of drawings at the Carlton Gallery in New York.
