Henri Cartier-Bresson: Early works

World famous photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) is called the father of photo journalism. The exhibition “Early works” presents his earliest photographs and it includes many of his most famous images. The exhibition takes a viewer to the atmosphere of 1930s in Italy, Germany, Spain and Mexico. His photographs combine a truthful documentation of reality with a sense of surreal coincidences.

In 1932, at the age of twenty-four, Henri Cartier-Bresson acquired a hand held Leica camera and his previously casual interest in photography became a passion. Over the next three years he created one of the most original and influential bodies of work in the history of photography.
