Alberto Giacometti

Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) Alberto Giacometti, Rue d’Alésia, Paris 1961

Henri Cartier-Bresson was a French photographer whose humane, spontaneous photographs helped establish photojournalism as an art form. His theory that photography can capture the meaning beneath outward appearance in instants of extraordinary clarity is perhaps best expressed in his book Images à la sauvette (1952; The Decisive Moment). @magnumphotos
