Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Decisive Moment

Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Decisive Moment

Images á la Sauvette (‘images on the run’), was the original title of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s book, The Decisive Moment, published in 1952. The book was a revelation in our understanding of how the camera views the world. The photographs managed to merge art and documentation within a single publication. Henri stated, “To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as a precise organization of forms which give that event its proper expression.”
