Henri Cartier-Bresson (by René Burri, 1959)“To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It’s at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.” - Henri Cartier-Bresson

Yesterday ARTE was airing the documentary “Le siècle de Cartier-Bresson” directed by Pierre Assouline, author of a biography of Cartier-Bresson. The film covers some of the 20th century’s greatest moments in photography, commented by the photographer himself, who opened his archives to Assouline fto use in the film. Many of the photographs have rarely been seen or published.
