Artist With a Camera; Henri Cartier-Bresson portrays, in the faces of the world's peoples, a history of our time.
THE photographs of Henri CartierBresson, which go on exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art this Tuesday, have a triple interest. Primarily, they are pictures of human incidents caught during a historical epoch (roughly the last decade), which are so intensely observed and masterfully photographed that they can serve among the chief pictorial symbols of their time.
