Bresson's photographs are taken at random moments, capturing the candor and spontaneity of people and nature in everyday life and places, reminding us that every moment is a decisive moment. The photographs feature people in all situations, conditions, and places, showing the truth of human life, and often the beauty of nature. ** Henri Cartier Bresson (1908-2004) was a French humanist photographer. Known as a master of candid photography, he was an early user of the mm film, and pioneered the genre of street photography. He viewed the work of a photographer as "capturing a decisive moment." ** Lavishly illustrated with B&W reproductions of the artist's photographs.
