The Museum of Modern Art, NYC has gathered over 300 photographs for a retrospective of photojournalist Henri Cartier- Bresson (1908-2004) – “…one of the most original, accomplished, influential, and beloved figures in the history of photography. His inventive work of the early 1930s helped define the creative potential of modern photography, and his uncanny ability to capture life on the run made his work synonymous with “the decisive moment”—the title of his first major book.” 
Cartier-Bresson describing the “decisive moment” in photography:
“To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms [as they are perceived visually] which give that event its proper expression.”
