HENRI CARTIER-BRESSON
photographed by Ferdinando Scianna, 1998
Henri Cartier-Bresson is the great glory of twentieth-century photography. His poetic vision is reflected in the eyes of most photographers today, whether they realize it or not. In an age of vulgar photographic arrivistes, he remains the benchmark of profound eloquence and insight. His only peer is Robert Frank, who brought a hard, tender beauty to Cartier-Bresson's surrealist contradictions. We will not see again that kind of touching beauty in our lifetime.
