Maybe a slight amount more by way of explanation?
he was the best photographer of the 20th century.
I suppose HCB was the photographers photographer.
Interesting quote I just stumbled upon:
In 2001, in a letter to Peter Galassi, chief curator of the photography department at MoMA, Cartier-Bresson wrote: “If it had not been for the challenge of the work of Walker Evans, I don’t think I would have remained a Fotographer.”
Reminds me of this other quote: "An artist is someone who tries to answer the questions raised by the works of other artists."
Interesting also because one wouldn't immediately think of associating these two photographers, even if, as this article states (complete text here), “Evans and Cartier-Bresson have one essential thing in common, something almost immediately recognized in New York (but ignored in Paris): they became artists by reinventing photography.”
I realize I've always underestimated the impact of the travels Cartier-Bresson made in the US in 1946 and 1947, and how they might have contributed to shape his vision of the world—perhaps more pessimistic than what I thought.
As if himself has imposed a European "flair" on them.
I don't know what that means.
That it was most about himself than America
Ask Gilles Mora, I am also kind of puzzledHow is that discernible in the photographs themselves?
To put it in another way: how is this photograph more about Henri Cartier-Bresson than it is about Black people celebrating Easter in Harlem?
