A collection of work by Henri Cartier-Bresson, which takes a retrospective look at a lifetime's achievement. This work features photographs and contains work from various periods of Cartier-Bresson's life. It also features personal souvenirs from Cartier-Bresson's youth, his family and the founding of Magnum.
Henri Cartier-Bresson travelled across Europe, from the Scandinavian shield to the Irish bogs, in order to produce this collection of photographs. It brings together images spanning the years from the late 1920s to the early 1970s, and seeks to capture what it means to be European.
