“Henri Cartier-Bresson and the Art and Photography of Paris”

A 100th birthday is a great reason to celebrate the work of photo journalist Henri Cartier-Bresson, (1908-2004),  at The Art institute of Chicago. He will share the exhibit with his Paris contemporaries, Pablo Picasso, Giorgio de Chirico, Henri Matisse, and Piet Mondrian.

Cartier-Bresson’s photographs are described in the museum catalog as always capturing “the decisive moment”.
