Great Photographers: Henri Cartier-Bresson
“Brie” by Henri Cartier-Bresson, June 1968, Brie, France
This photo, “Brie”, was taken by one of the great photographers of the 20th century – Henri Cartier-Bresson (August 22, 1908 – August 3, 2004), considered to be the father of modern photojournalism.
In an interview with the Washington Post in 1957 he said:
Photography is not like painting. There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera.
Henri Cartier-Bresson’s The Decisive Moment (published in 1952) is considered by many to be the most important photography book of the 20th century. See Also: Portraits by Henri Cartier-Bresson at the Washington Post Magazine.
