Description
Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) was a French photographer and pioneer of modern photojournalism. He is considered one of the most important photographers of the 20th century and is known for his candid and spontaneous photographs of everyday life.Cartier-Bresson was one of the founders of the photographic cooperative Magnum Photos, and his photographs appeared in major publications such as Life, Harper's Bazaar, and Vogue. He was particularly famous for his street photography, capturing the essence of ordinary moments with an eye for the decisive moment when all elements come together to create a perfect composition.Cartier-Bresson's work also reflects his interest in social and political issues, with photographs documenting major events such as the Spanish Civil War, the liberation of Paris, and the death of Mahatma Gandhi. He also traveled extensively and photographed in countries such as India, China, and the Soviet Union, creating a unique visual record of different cultures and ways of life.Throughout his career, Cartier-Bresson remained committed to the idea that photography should be used to document the world as it is, rather than trying to manipulate or stage images.
