Dessau, Germany by Henri Cartier-Bresson 1945
Henri Cartier-Bresson’s photographs are both factual and interpretive. They are not trying to sell me on anything other than “this is how it is, this is what I saw and you add, if you must, your own story line”. The New York Museum of Modern Art begins today with a retrospective of his work.
Many of the photographs that fascinate me are simple recordings of the aftermath of devastating events. The series entitled “After the War, End of an Era” depicts the inevitable changes that war brings about, the question of what’s next and how can the past be reconciled.
