WATCH! WATCH! WATCH! HENRI CARTIER-BRESSON

In the organizer's words:

Henri Cartier-Bresson is one of the most famous photographers of the 20th century. As a photojournalist, art photographer and portraitist, he created timeless compositions and shaped the style of subsequent generations of photographers. With his flair for the "decisive moment", he captured spontaneous encounters and situations. His works, now icons, made him an important representative of street photography.

The Bucerius Kunst Forum is dedicating the first major retrospective in Germany for 20 years to the co-founder of the legendary Magnum photo agency. In addition to the early, surrealist-influenced photographs and film works as well as the political photo reportages, Cartier-Bresson's portraits of well-known artists and writers will also be shown, as well as his later photographs, in which the focus is on everyday human behavior.

The exhibition uses 240 original prints and numerous publications in magazines and books to shed light on the photographer's life's work from the 1930s to the 1970s.
