Nato a Chanteloup, Seine-et-Marne, nel 1908, Henri Cartier-Bresson sviluppò fin da piccolo una forte fascinazione per la pittura, in particolare per il Surrealismo. Nel 1932, dopo aver trascorso un anno in Costa d'Avorio, scoprì la Leica, la sua macchina fotografica preferita in seguito, e iniziò una passione per la fotografia che durò tutta la vita. Tenne la sua prima mostra alla Julien Levy Gallery di New York nel 1933. Fatto prigioniero di guerra nel 1940, evase al terzo tentativo nel 1943 e in seguito si unì a un'organizzazione clandestina per assistere prigionieri ed evasi. Nel 1945, fotografò la Liberazione di Parigi con un gruppo di giornalisti professionisti. Nel 1947, con Robert Capa, George Rodger, David “Chim” Seymour e William Vandivert, fondò la Magnum Photos. Dopo tre anni trascorsi viaggiando in Oriente, tornò in Europa nel 1952, dove pubblicò il suo primo libro, Images à la Sauvette (pubblicato in inglese come The Decisive Moment). Spiegò il suo approccio alla fotografia in questi termini: “per me la macchina fotografica è un album di schizzi, uno strumento di intuizione e spontaneità, il padrone dell'istante che, in termini visivi, interroga e decide simultaneamente... È con l'economia dei mezzi che si arriva alla semplicità dell'espressione”. --------------------------------------------- From a personal collection, rare and wonderful original photoengraving by Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908 - 2004) from 1955 entitled: - Trastevere.

Born in Chanteloup, Seine-et-Marne, in 1908, Henri Cartier-Bresson developed a strong fascination with painting early on, particularly with Surrealism. In 1932, after spending a year in the Ivory Coast, he discovered the Leica, his camera of choice thereafter, and began a lifelong passion for photography. He had his first exhibition at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York in 1933. Taken prisoner of war in 1940, he escaped on his third attempt in 1943 and subsequently joined an underground organization to assist prisoners and escapees. In 1945, he photographed the Liberation of Paris with a group of professional journalists. In 1947, with Robert Capa, George Rodger, David “Chim” Seymour, and William Vandivert, he founded Magnum Photos. After three years spent traveling in the East, he returned to Europe in 1952, where he published his first book, Images à la Sauvette (published in English as The Decisive Moment). He explained his approach to photography in these terms, “for me the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which, in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously… It is by economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression.”
