Henri Cartier-Bresson

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Cartier-Bresson

Henri Cartier-Bresson, né le 22 août 1908 à Chanteloup-en-Brie et mort le 3 août 2004 à Montjustin, est un photographe, photojournaliste et dessinateur français. Connu pour la précision et le graphisme de ses compositions (jamais recadrées au tirage), il s'est surtout illustré dans la photographie de rue, la représentation des aspects pittoresques ou signifiants de la vie quotidienne (Les Européens). Avec Robert Capa, David Seymour, William Vandivert et George Rodger, ils fondent en 1947 l'agence coopérative Magnum Photos.

Le concept de « l'instant décisif » est souvent utilisé à propos de ses photos, mais on peut l'estimer trop réducteur et préférer celui de « tir photographique », qui prend le contexte en compte. Pour certains, il est une figure mythique de la photographie du XXe siècle, qu'une relative longévité de sa carrière photographique lui permet de traverser, en portant son regard sur les évènements majeurs qui ont jalonné le milieu du siècle.

En 2003, un an avant sa mort, une fondation portant son nom est créée à Paris pour assurer la conservation et la présentation de son œuvre ainsi que pour soutenir et exposer les photographes dont il se sentait proche. A noter que l’exposition Henri Cartier-Bresson au Centre Pompidou en 2014 a pour la première fois mis l'accent sur son activité militante pour le parti communiste, dans la période 1936-1946.
