Henri Cartier-Bresson - Photographe

From 23 Apr 2015 to 05 Sep 2015

The Jewish Museum of Belgium presents 133 black and white photographs by Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004), the French photographer famed for his ability to seize the right moment.

Considered the father of photojournalism, Cartier-Bresson set new standards for his peers and successors by developing a style known as street photography, or life reportage.

Together with Robert Capa, David Seymour and others, he founded the photographic agency Magnum in 1947.

This exhibition includes his early surrealist-inspired images, documentary work on the resistance in Paris, and a series of photographs from his travels in the 1960s and 1970s.

Tues-Sun 10.00-17.00
