Description

Henri Cartier-Bresson: ScrapbookHenri Cartier Bresson was taken prisoner by the Germans in 1940. After two unsuccessful attempts, he managed to escape in 1943. During this period, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, assuming that the photographer had died in the war, started preparing what they thought would be a posthumous exhibition of his work. When he reappeared, Cartier Bresson was delighted to learn of the exhibition and decided to review his entire oeuvre and curate it
