"De qui s'agit-il ?" Retrospective Henri Cartier-Bresson
Henri Cartier-Bresson is recognized as one of the greatest photographers of the Twentieth Century.
Henri Cartier-Bresson was born in 1908, in Chanteloupe, France, of prosperous middle-class parents. He owned a Box Brownie as a boy, using it for taking holiday snapshots, and later experimented with a 3 x 4 view camera.
He was also interested in painting and studied for two years in a Paris studio. This early training in art helped develop the sensitive eye for composition, which was one of his greatest assets as a photographer.
