Exhibition at the Fonds Hélène et Édouard Leclerc, Landerneau, 15 June 2024 - 05 January 2025

There is not just one Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004), but several. The young man, heavily influenced by Surrealism, who travelled in Africa, Italy and Mexico in the first half of the 1930s, was not the same man at the end of the decade when he became involved in politics, working with the Communists to block the rise of fascism in Europe. After the Second World War, his temperament changed again when he founded the Magnum Photos agency and set off to photograph the world.

In contrast to the usual unifying approach, this exhibition catalogue aims to highlight the diversity of Cartier-Bresson's work at different times. It brings together 300 works by the photographer, some of his best-known, others more confidential, in a major retrospective of the twentieth century.
