A photographer with a remarkable instinct for both novel compositions and dramatic international events, Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) produced images that affected virtually every photojournalist in the world. The agency he cofounded, Magnum Photos, today remains a standard-bearer of commercial photography. This calendar presents twelve of Cartier-Bresson's magnificent black-and-white images.
Widely considered the greatest photographer of the twentieth century-possibly the greatest ever-Henri Cartier-Bresson disdained the careful preliminary setup. Instead, he approached his work like a hunter, camera always at the ready to record a fleeting expression, an angle, a deed. His intuition and lightning grasp of the perfect composition could make a story out of a stranger’s casual gesture or a fleeting confluence of shadow and reflection. The decisive moment is when the world stands still and something unique is born; this calendar presents twelve examples of Cartier-Bresson’s unapproachable ability to capture such moments. His last calendar before his death in 2004 at the age of 95 years old.
