'''Henri Cartier-Bresson''' ({{IPA-fr|kaʁtje bʁɛsɔ̃|lang}}; 22 August 1908 – 3 August 2004) was a French artist and [[Humanist photography|humanist photographer]] considered a master of [[candid photography]], and an early user of [[135 film|35mm]] film.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Editors |first=Biography com |title=Henri Cartier-Bresson |url=https://www.biography.com/artist/henri-cartier-bresson |access-date=2022-10-18 |website=Biography |language=en-us |archive-date=18 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221018112812/https://www.biography.com/artist/henri-cartier-bresson |url-status=live }}</ref> He pioneered the genre of [[street photography]], and viewed photography as capturing a ''decisive moment.''<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/projects/cp/obituaries/archives/henri-cartier-bresson-photography|title=Henri Cartier-Bresson, Whose "Decisive Moment" Shaped Modern Photography|work=The New York Times|date=3 August 2016|access-date=2018-11-05|language=en|archive-date=5 November 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181105202947/https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/projects/cp/obituaries/archives/henri-cartier-bresson-photography|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |date=2022-02-26 |title=Henri Cartier-Bresson |url=https://www.icp.org/browse/archive/constituents/henri-cartier-bresson |access-date=2022-10-18 |website=International Center of Photography |language=en |archive-date=18 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221018112822/https://www.icp.org/browse/archive/constituents/henri-cartier-bresson |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Early life==
Henri Cartier-Bresson was born in [[Chanteloup-en-Brie]], Seine-et-Marne, France.<ref name=":2" /> His father was a wealthy textile manufacturer, whose Cartier-Bresson thread was a staple of French sewing kits. His mother's family were cotton merchants and landowners from [[Normandy]], where Henri spent part of his childhood. His mother was descended from [[Charlotte Corday]].<ref>
The Cartier-Bresson family lived in a [[bourgeois]] neighborhood in Paris, Rue de Lisbonne, near [[Le Pont de l'Europe|Place de l'Europe]] and [[Parc Monceau]]. Since his parents were providing financial support, Henri pursued photography more freely than his contemporaries. Henri also sketched.<ref name=":1" />
Line 27 ⟶ 35:
Young Henri took holiday snapshots with a [[Brownie (camera)|Box Brownie]]; he later experimented with a 3×4 inch [[view camera]]. He was raised in traditional French bourgeois fashion, and was required to address his parents with formal ''vous'' rather than ''tu.'' His father assumed that his son would take up the family business, but Henri was strong-willed and also feared this prospect.
Cartier-Bresson attended École Fénelon, a Catholic school that prepared students for the [[Lycée Condorcet]]. A governess called "Miss Kitty" who came from across the Channel, instilled in him the
===Painting===
He studied painting when he was just 5 years old, taking an apprenticeship in his uncle Louis' studio. After trying to learn [[music]], Cartier-Bresson was introduced to oil painting by his uncle Louis, a gifted painter and winner of the Prix de Rome in 1910. But
In 1927, Cartier-Bresson entered a private art school and the Lhote Academy, the Parisian studio of the [[Cubist]] painter and sculptor [[André Lhote]]. Lhote's ambition was to integrate the Cubists' approach to reality with classical artistic forms; he wanted to link the French classical tradition of [[Nicolas Poussin]] and [[Jacques-Louis David]] to [[Modernism]]. Cartier-Bresson also studied painting with society portraitist [[Jacques Émile Blanche]].
Line 37 ⟶ 45:
===Surrealists photography influence===
Although Cartier-Bresson became frustrated with Lhote's "rule-laden" approach to art, the rigorous theoretical training later helped him identify and resolve problems of artistic form and composition in photography. In the 1920s, schools of photographic realism were popping up throughout Europe but each had a different view on the direction photography should take.
{{
Cartier-Bresson matured artistically in this stormy cultural and political atmosphere. But, although he knew the concepts, he couldn't express them; dissatisfied with his experiments, he destroyed most of his early paintings.
===Cambridge and army===
From 1928 to 1929, Cartier-Bresson studied art, literature, and English at the [[University of Cambridge]], where he became bilingual.<ref>{{Cite encyclopedia|url=https://www.britannica.com/biography/Henri-Cartier-Bresson|title=Henri Cartier-Bresson {{!}} French photographer|encyclopedia=Encyclopedia Britannica|access-date=2017-11-21|language=en|archive-date=1 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201052401/https://www.britannica.com/biography/Henri-Cartier-Bresson|url-status=live}}</ref> In 1930, he was conscripted into the French Army and stationed at Le Bourget near Paris, a time about which he later remarked: "And I had quite a hard time of it, too, because I was toting Joyce under my arm and a [[Lebel Model 1886 rifle|Lebel rifle]] on my shoulder."<ref name="kimmelman"/>
===
In 1929, Cartier-Bresson's air squadron commandant placed him under house arrest for hunting without a licence. Cartier-Bresson met American expatriate [[Harry Crosby]] at [[Le Bourget]], who persuaded the commandant to release Cartier-Bresson into his custody for a few days. The two men both had an interest in photography, and Harry presented Henri with his first camera.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Young|first1=Carolin C.|title=Apples of Gold in Settings of Silver: Stories of Dinner as a Work of Art|date=2002|publisher=Simon & Schuster|location=New York

===Photography===
[[File:Cartier-Bresson's first Leica.jpg|thumb|Cartier-Bresson's first Leica]]
Returning to France, Cartier-Bresson recuperated in [[Marseille]] in late 1931 and deepened his relationship with the Surrealists. He became inspired by a 1930 photograph by Hungarian photojournalist [[Martin Munkacsi]] showing three naked young African boys, caught in near-silhouette, running into the surf of [[Lake Tanganyika]]. Titled ''[[Three Boys at Lake Tanganyika]]'', this captured the freedom, grace and spontaneity of their movement and their joy at being alive. That photograph inspired him to stop painting and to take up photography seriously. He explained, "I suddenly understood that a photograph could fix eternity in an instant."<ref>{{cite news|title=Art |author=Robin Pogrebin|date=January 14, 2007|work=New York Times}}</ref>
He acquired the [[Leica Camera|Leica camera]] with 50 mm lens in Marseilles that would accompany him for many years. The anonymity that the small camera gave him in a crowd or during an intimate moment was essential in overcoming the formal and unnatural behavior of those who were aware of being photographed. He enhanced his anonymity by painting all shiny parts of the Leica with black paint. The Leica opened up new possibilities in photography—the ability to capture the world in its actual state of movement and transformation. Restless, he photographed in [[Berlin]], Brussels, [[Warsaw]], Prague, [[Budapest]] and [[Madrid]]. His photographs were first exhibited at the [[Julien Levy Gallery]] in New York in 1933, and subsequently at the Ateneo Club in Madrid. In 1934 in Mexico, he shared an exhibition with [[Manuel Álvarez Bravo]]. In the beginning, he did not photograph much in his native France. It would be years before he photographed there extensively.
In 1934, Cartier-Bresson met a young Polish intellectual, a photographer named David Szymin who was called "Chim" because his name was difficult to pronounce. Szymin later changed his name to [[David Seymour (photographer)|David Seymour]]. The two had much in common culturally. Through Chim, Cartier-Bresson met a Hungarian photographer named Endré Friedmann, who later changed his name to [[Robert Capa]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/06/20/henri-cartier-bresson-living-and-looking/|title=Henri Cartier-Bresson: Living and Looking|last=Times|first=The New York|work=Lens Blog|date=20 June 2013|access-date=2017-11-21|language=en|archive-date=1 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201030738/https://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/06/20/henri-cartier-bresson-living-and-looking/|url-status=live}}</ref>
==United States exhibits==
Cartier-Bresson traveled to the United States in 1935 with an invitation to exhibit his work at New York's Julien Levy Gallery. He shared display space with fellow photographers [[Walker Evans]] and Manuel Álvarez Bravo. [[Carmel Snow]] of ''[[Harper's Bazaar]]'' gave him a fashion assignment, but he fared poorly since he had no idea how to direct or interact with the models. Nevertheless, Snow was the first American editor to publish Cartier-Bresson's photographs in a magazine. While in New York, he met photographer [[Paul Strand]], who did camerawork for the [[Great Depression|Depression-era]] documentary ''[[The Plow That Broke the Plains]]''.▼

===Filmmaking===

He acted in Renoir's 1936 film ''[[Partie de campagne]]'' and in the 1939 ''[[The Rules of the Game|La Règle du jeu]],'' for which he played a butler and served as second assistant. Renoir made Cartier-Bresson act so he could understand how it felt to be on the other side of the camera. Cartier-Bresson also helped Renoir make a film for the Communist party on the 200 families, including his own, who ran France. During the [[Spanish civil war]], Cartier-Bresson co-directed an anti-fascist film with [[Herbert Kline]], to promote the Republican medical services.
===Photojournalism start===
Cartier-Bresson's first photojournalist photos to be published came in 1937 when he covered the [[coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.inspiringpeople.us/biography/henri-cartier-bresson|title=Henri Cartier-Bresson biography - inspiringpeople.us|website=inspiringpeople.us|language=en|access-date=2017-11-21}}</ref> for the French weekly ''Regards.'' He focused on the new monarch's adoring subjects lining the London streets, and took no pictures of the king. His photo credit read "Cartier", as he was hesitant to use his full family name.
Between 1937 and 1939, Cartier-Bresson worked as a photographer for the French Communists' evening paper, ''[[Ce soir]]''. With Chim and Capa, Cartier-Bresson was a leftist, but he did not join the French Communist party.
==Marriage==
In 1937, Cartier-Bresson married a Javanese dancer, [[Ratna "Elie" Mohini|Ratna Mohini]].<ref name="turner-telegraph" /> They lived in a fourth-floor servants' flat in Paris at 19, rue Neuve-des-Petits-Champs (now rue Danielle Casanova), a large studio with a small bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom where Cartier-Bresson developed film.
===World War II service===
When World War II broke out in September 1939, Cartier-Bresson joined the French Army as a Corporal in the
At the end of the war he was asked by the American Office of War Information to make a documentary, ''Le Retour'' (The Return) about returning French prisoners and displaced persons{{Citation needed|date=February 2024}}. <!--Toward the end of the War, rumors had reached America that Cartier-Bresson had been killed.
==Magnum Photos==
In early 1947, Cartier-Bresson, with [[Robert Capa]], [[David Seymour (photographer)|David Seymour]], William Vandivert and [[George Rodger]] founded [[Magnum Photos]]. Capa's brainchild, Magnum was a cooperative picture agency owned by its members. The team split photo assignments among the members. Rodger, who had quit ''[[Life (magazine)|Life]]'' in London after covering World War II, would cover Africa and the Middle East. Chim, who spoke a variety of European languages, would work in Europe. Cartier-Bresson would be assigned to India and China. Vandivert, who had also left ''Life,'' would work in America, and Capa would work anywhere that had an assignment. [[Maria Eisner]] managed the Paris office and Rita Vandivert, Vandivert's wife, managed the New York office and became Magnum's first president.
Cartier-Bresson achieved international recognition for his coverage of [[Mahatma Gandhi|Gandhi]]'s funeral in India in 1948 and the last stage of the [[Chinese Civil War]] in 1949. He covered the last six months of the [[Kuomintang]] administration and the first six months of the Maoist [[People's Republic of China|People's Republic]]. He also photographed the last surviving Imperial [[eunuch (court official)|eunuch]]s in Beijing, as the city was being liberated by the communists. In Shanghai, he often worked in the company of photojournalist [[Sam Tata]], whom Cartier-Bresson had previously befriended in Bombay.<ref>
Magnum's mission was to "feel the pulse" of the times and some of its first projects were ''People Live Everywhere'', ''Youth of the World'', ''Women of the World'' and ''The Child Generation''. Magnum aimed to use photography in the service of humanity, and provided arresting, widely viewed images.
===''The Decisive Moment''===

[[File:Photograph of Alberto Giacometti by Cartier Bresson.jpg|thumb|upright|Photograph of [[Alberto Giacometti]] by Cartier-Bresson]]In 1952, Cartier-Bresson published his book ''Images à la sauvette,'' whose English-language edition was titled ''The Decisive Moment,'' although the French language title actually translates as "''images on the sly''" or "hastily taken images",<ref>Robert Duggan - [http://bigthink.com/Picture-This/a-warm-kiss-cartier-bresson-speaks-in-the-decisive-moment A Warm Kiss: Cartier-Bresson Speaks in “The Decisive Moment”] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180203064233/http://bigthink.com/Picture-This/a-warm-kiss-cartier-bresson-speaks-in-the-decisive-moment |date=3 February 2018 }} ''[[Big Think|The Big Think]]'' Accessed February 2, 2018 (and using [[Google Translate]] & [[Cambridge University Press|Cambridge Dictionaries]] (via Wiktionary) for the word [[Wikt:sauvette|sauvette]])</ref><ref>[[Simon Garfield]] (2016) [https://archive.org/details/timekeepers0000garf Timekeepers: How the World Became Obsessed With Time] - [https://books.google.
Both titles came from [[Tériade]], the Greek-born French publisher whom Cartier-Bresson admired. He gave the book its French title, ''Images à la Sauvette'', loosely translated as "images on the run" or "stolen images." [[Richard L. Simon|Dick Simon]] of [[Simon & Schuster]] came up with the English title ''The Decisive Moment''. Margot Shore, Magnum's Paris bureau chief, translated Cartier-Bresson's French preface into English.
"Photography is not like painting," Cartier-Bresson told the ''[[The Washington Post|Washington Post]]'' in 1957. "There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative
The photo ''[[Rue Mouffetard, Paris (photograph)|Rue Mouffetard, Paris]]'', taken in 1954, has since become a classic example of Cartier-Bresson’s ability to capture a decisive moment. He held his first exhibition in France at the [[Pavillon de Marsan]] in 1955.▼

==Later career==
Cartier-Bresson's photography took him to many places, including China, Mexico, Canada, the United States, India, Japan, Portugal and the Soviet Union. While traveling in China in 1958, Cartier-Bresson documented the construction of the [[Ming Tombs Reservoir]].<ref name=":Qian">{{Cite book |last=Qian |first=Ying |title=Revolutionary Becomings: Documentary Media in Twentieth-Century China |date=2024 |publisher=[[Columbia University Press]] |isbn=9780231204477 |location=New York, NY |pages=159}}</ref> He became the first Western photographer to photograph "freely" in the post-war Soviet Union.
In 1962, on behalf of ''[[Vogue (magazine)|Vogue]]'', he went to [[Sardinia]] for about twenty days. There he visited Nuoro, Oliena, Orgosolo Mamoiada Desulo, Orosei, Cala Gonone, Orani (hosted by his friend [[Costantino Nivola]]), San Leonardo di Siete Fuentes, and Cagliari.<ref>''La fotografia in Sardegna.

Cartier-Bresson withdrew as a principal of Magnum (which still distributes his photographs) in 1966 to concentrate on portraiture and landscapes.
He was also close friends with brothers [[Alberto Giacometti]] and [[Diego Giacometti]] in Paris.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Amadour |date=2023-05-23 |title=Designer Ingrid Donat Opens Her Art-Filled Home in Paris |url=https://galeriemagazine.com/designer-ingrid-donat-opens-art-filled-home-le-marais/ |access-date=2023-12-31 |website=Galerie |language=en-US |archive-date=3 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230603073701/https://galeriemagazine.com/designer-ingrid-donat-opens-art-filled-home-le-marais/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
In 1967, he was divorced from his first wife of 30 years, Ratna (known as "Elie"). In 1968, he began to turn away from photography and return to his passion for drawing and painting. He admitted that perhaps he had said all he could through photography. He married Magnum photographer [[Martine Franck]], thirty years younger than himself, in 1970.<ref>{{cite book|title=Encyclopedia of twentieth-century photography |author=Lynne Warren |page=248 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YeK7FXhKrw0C&pg=PA248|isbn=9781579583934 |year=2006 }}</ref> The couple had a daughter, Mélanie, in May 1972.▼

Cartier-Bresson retired from photography in the early 1970s, and by 1975 no longer took pictures other than an occasional private portrait; he said he kept his camera in a safe at his house and rarely took it out. He returned to drawing, mainly using pencil, pen and ink,<ref>{{cite news|access-date=2018-11-10|title=Revealed: the undeveloped art of Henri Cartier-Bresson|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/revealed-the-undeveloped-art-of-henri-cartier-bresson-302707.html|newspaper=The Independent|archive-date=10 November 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181110170018/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/revealed-the-undeveloped-art-of-henri-cartier-bresson-302707.html|url-status=live}}</ref> and to painting.

Cartier-Bresson died in [[Céreste]] ([[Alpes-de-Haute-Provence]], France)<ref>{{cite news | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/3536724.stm | date = 4 August 2004 | access-date = 19 September 2016 | publisher = [[BBC News]] | location = London | title = Photographer Cartier-Bresson dies | archive-date = 7 September 2017 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170907230507/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/3536724.stm | url-status = live }}</ref> on
Cartier-Bresson spent more than three decades on assignment for ''Life'' and other journals. He traveled without bounds, documenting some of the great upheavals of the 20th century — the [[Spanish Civil War]], the liberation of Paris in 1944, the fall of the Kuomintang in China to the communists, the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, the May 1968 events in Paris, the Berlin Wall. And along the way he paused to document portraits of [[Albert Camus|Camus]], [[Picasso]], [[Colette]], [[Matisse]], [[Ezra Pound|Pound]] and [[Giacometti]]. But many of his most renowned photographs, such as ''[[Behind the Gare Saint-Lazare]]'', are of seemingly unimportant moments of ordinary daily life.
Cartier-Bresson did not like to be photographed and treasured his privacy.
In a [[Charlie Rose]] interview in 2000, Cartier-Bresson noted that it wasn't necessarily that he hated to be photographed, but it was that he was embarrassed by the notion of being photographed for being famous.<ref>{{cite AV media |publisher=Charlie Rose interview |date=July 6, 2000 |url=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4074157481455007235 |title=Cartier-Bresson on Charlie Rose |access-date=28 December 2006 |archive-date=15 September 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120915095410/http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4074157481455007235 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
Cartier-Bresson believed that what went on beneath the surface was nobody's business but his own. He did recall that he once confided his innermost secrets to a Paris taxi driver, certain that he would never meet the man again.
In 2003, he created the [[Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation]] in Paris with his wife, the Belgian photographer [[Martine Franck]] and his daughter to preserve and share his legacy.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.henricartierbresson.org/|title=Accueil - Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson|website=Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson|language=fr-FR|access-date=2018-11-05|archive-date=10 February 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230210045617/http://www.henricartierbresson.org/|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2018, the foundation relocated<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/new-paris-space-for-fondation-hcb|title=Martine Franck comes into focus at Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson's new Paris space|website=www.theartnewspaper.com|date=5 November 2018

===Cinéma vérité===
Cartier-Bresson's photographs were also influential in the development of [[cinéma vérité]] film. In particular, he is credited as the inspiration for the [[National Film Board of Canada]]'s early work in this genre with its 1958 ''[[Candid Eye]]'' series.<ref name="Aitken">{{cite book|last=Aitken|first=Ian|title=Encyclopedia of the Documentary Film|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JdSNAQAAQBAJ

Cartier-Bresson almost always used a [[Leica Camera|Leica]] 35 mm rangefinder camera fitted with a normal [[Normal lens|50 mm]] lens, or occasionally a wide-angle lens for landscapes.<ref name="Frank Van Riper 2002">{{cite book |author=Frank Van Riper |title=Talking photography: Viewpoints on the art, craft and business |publisher=Allworth Communications, Inc. |year=2002 |isbn=1-58115-208-6 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/talkingphotograp00vanr }}</ref> He often wrapped black tape around the camera's chrome body to make it less conspicuous. With fast black and white film and sharp lenses, he was able to photograph events unnoticed. No longer bound by a 4×5 press camera or a [[Medium format (film)|medium format]] [[twin-lens reflex camera]], miniature-format cameras gave Cartier-Bresson what he called "the velvet hand...the hawk's eye."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/photo/essays/vanRiper/040805.htm|title=Cartier-Bresson: Mourning the Hawk's Eye|date=August 5, 2004|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|last=Van Riper|first=Frank|access-date=2015-02-06|archive-date=8 September 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170908074745/http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/photo/essays/vanRiper/040805.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>
He never photographed with flash, a practice he saw as "impolite...like coming to a concert with a pistol in your hand."<ref name="Frank Van Riper 2002"/>
Line 133 ⟶ 142:
He believed in composing his photographs in the viewfinder, not in the darkroom. He showcased this belief by having nearly all his photographs printed only at full-frame and completely free of any cropping or other darkroom manipulation.<ref name="kimmelman"/> He insisted that his prints be left uncropped so as to include a few millimeters of the unexposed negative around the image area, resulting in a black frame around the developed picture.
Cartier-Bresson worked exclusively in black and white, other than a few experiments in color. He disliked developing or making his own prints<ref name="kimmelman"/> and showed a considerable lack of interest in the process of photography in general, likening photography with the small camera to an "instant drawing".<ref name=lim>{{cite web |url=http://zone-10.com/cmsm/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=55&Itemid=1&limit=1&limitstart=1 |title=Henri Cartier-Bresson – A Decisive Moment in Time |author=Khen Lim |date=

He started a tradition of testing new camera lenses by taking photographs of ducks in urban parks. He never published the images but referred to them as 'my only superstition' as he considered it a 'baptism' of the lens.<ref>{{cite book |title=Cartier-Bresson Interviews and Notes |editor= J.M Dirac |location=Paris |year=1962|page=122}}</ref>
