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.
Henri Cartier-Bresson (Chanteloup-en-Brie, August 22, 1908 – L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, August 3, 2004) was a French photographer considered to be a pioneer of photo-journalism, so as to merit the appellation of eye of the century.
Theoretical decisive in the instant photography, has also helped to bring photography to surrealist (inspired by Eugène Atget) to a wider audience.
