How to understand Henry Cartier?

Henri Cartier Bresson is a famous French photographer. He has been engaged in photography for more than half a century and has traveled all over the world, taking a lot of wonderful photos. Known as "one of the top ten photographers in the contemporary world" and "the reporter of human comedy".

John Sackske, honorary curator of new york Museum of Modern Art, said: Bresson's works have elegant, steady, magical and concise visual language, and the profound beauty in them is beyond my words. It is particularly worth mentioning that his works have become the yardstick for measuring documentary photography and news photography after World War II, and his beautiful and magical influence is reflected in the works of many photographers. Even photographers who are different from him in emotion and style have to face up to his works.

For decades, Bresson has shaped the image that the photographer's thoughts are "indispensable" to the magazine style; It injects the concept that photography is a moment you can see. The photographer's instinct is to see it first, go into the world to experience it and record it.

Bresson's greatness lies in his ability to highlight news elements such as time and place while producing aesthetic feeling. When he pays attention to the man of the hour in world politics, the topics he touches are far beyond the contents of those social focuses. No matter what the theme is, his careful observation, tolerance for human nature and unparalleled lyricism have formed his unique style.
