It will be exhibited in Rome from 26 September 2014 to 6 January 2015, the Henri Cartier-Bresson retrospective exhibition curated by Clément Chéroux, now in progress at the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

Clément is Chéroux photography historian and curator at the Centre Pompidou, Musée national d’art moderne.

The exhibition offers a new reading of the immense corpus of images that Cartier-Bresson has left us: covers the entire career of the great photographer and is the result of a long research work done by the curator in the course of many years of study in ‘archive of Cartier-Bresson. Will be exhibited over 500 photographs, drawings, paintings, films and documents bringing together the most important icons but also the less well-known images of the great master.
The exhibits retrospectives dedicated to Henri Cartier-Bresson, until now they have always tried to demonstrate the sense of unity of his work emphasizing his ability to capture the ‘decisive moment’. This exhibition aims to show how, there was not one but several Cartier-Bresson: the photographer near the Surrealist movement around the thirties, the militant documentary of the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War, the reporter of the fifties and sixties and finally, beginning in the seventies, the artist more intimate.
