- Cartier-Bresson achieved international recognition for his coverage of Gandhi's funeral in India in 1948 and the last (1949) stage of the Chinese Civil War. He covered the last six months of the Kuomintang administration and the first six months of the Maoist People's Republic. He also photographed the last surviving Imperial eunuchs in Beijing, as the city was falling to the communists. From China, he went on to Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia), where he documented the gaining of independence from the Dutch.

In 1952, Cartier-Bresson published his book Images à la sauvette, whose English edition was titled The Decisive Moment. It included a portfolio of 126 of his photos from the East and the West. The book's cover was drawn by Henri Matisse. For his 4,500-word philosophical preface, Cartier-Bresson took his keynote text from the 17th century Cardinal de Retz: "Il n'y a rien dans ce monde qui n'ait un moment decisif" ("There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment"). Cartier-Bresson applied this to his photographic style. He said: "Photographier: c'est dans un même instant et en une fraction de seconde reconnaître un fait et l'organisation rigoureuse de formes perçues visuellement qui expriment et signifient ce fait" ("Photography is simultaneously and instantaneously the recognition of a fact and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that express and signify that fact").[citation needed]
Both titles came from publishers. Tériade, the Greek-born French publisher whom Cartier-Bresson idolized,[peacock term] gave the book its French title, Images à la Sauvette, which can loosely be translated as "images on the run" or "stolen images." Dick Simon of Simon & Schuster came up with the English title The Decisive Moment. Margot Shore, Magnum's Paris bureau chief, did the English translation of Cartier-Bresson's French preface.
"Photography is not like painting," Cartier-Bresson told the Washington Post in 1957. "There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative," he said. "Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever."[7]
Cartier-Bresson held his first exhibition in France at the Pavillon de Marsan in the Louvre in 1955.

"life changes every minute, the world has been created every minute and the world is falling to pieces every minute" - Henri Cartier-Bresson
"Life is once - forever."
I could listen to him all day…..
I have heard this video a lot of times, just put earphone and close ur eyes and listen every word clearly. You will enjoy every word. Thank you so much for uploading this video.
I been going through some UA-camrs who try to describe HCB photography. And I usually stop watching in less than 2 minutes.
I guess there's just no one can explain so well by the master himself.
I watched this clip ten years ago while I was studying his works. I'm glad someone upload it on UA-cam. Because I think it's very important for the new generation to learn what he had done for the photography world.
Sounds like a Philosopher is speaking as a Photographer. Absolutely fantastic talk.
A great artist is a philosopher at heart.
Yes! Yes yes!! YESSS!
my favorite video on photography
10:46 “There’s no new ideas in the world there’s only new arrangement of things, Everything is new, every minute is new. That needs re-examining, Life changes every minute.”
I struggle to find words to describe how inspiring this video is. Thank you for the upload!
"After a certain age, you've got the face you deserve."
This art can not be compared to today's digital photo shit.
pure poetry. thank you for putting this up!
The girl in the Greek photo is gone a fraction forward
i dont know how people can dislike this video. the best i have seen and heard from henri
He's got a great face for the radio!😅
10:39 is a grounding part for anyone struggling with mental health as a creative.
Nice...thank you
WOW! This is what it means to give yourself to your art! Beautiful.
Many thanks for uploading this amazing and genuine speech. it's a manual, a motivation, like a Bible for feeling photography, for it's understanding.
And what a pleasure to find yourself,at least a bit,in this words...
His decisive moment skills are legendary!!
Before being a photography class, this is a class about humanity, the human portrait of an era. Fascinating!
Very well made little movie. Bravo ❤!
He was a true master of composition.
Always on tiptoes
Photograph will stop a part of life forever that will never happen again.
UA-cam has never given this to me before. I am in tears...good tears. Thanks you...🤣
Loving this , so inspiring
My highschool teacher showed me this and later in University I found this clip. I had to share it
Henri Cartier-Bresson
I had to make a portrait of him in school
He’s my favourite photographer ever since
The decisive moment is the topic for our application film at Ryerson University. You’ll probably get a lot of ryerson students watching this video lol
haha bring it on ryerson www.babakkhairi.com lets have a discussion . thanks brayden ;)
what a joyous, brilliant and articulate man. wonderful film.
one of my favorite black & white photographers~
0:02 This would be a difficult photo to get even if it were staged and with multiple attempts. But presumably he just grabbed the shot during real life? That's totally incredible! HCB must have been a psychic magician.
He often would wait , find a scene and wait for or ask a a child to jump over it perhaps, do a few tries , it's clearly doable 😅but he was a sensible photographer
How Powerful!!!
A true master.
It's like he's singing for the whole 18 minutes
Can someone please tell me where this recording is from? Did Bresson do this as an interview? I'd like to know the origin.
You can find that info in the last seconds of the video
My mother Sheila Turner-Seed initiated the project, directed and edited this program, and interviewed Cartier-Bresson for it. Please see www.rachelseed.com/#/apm/ for more context. It was produced with ICP and Scholastic in the early 1970s.
@@r.s.3289 Wow thank you so much!!!
Frame One, Roll One started for me the Summer of 1941. I was not yet 7. An uncle gave me a little Falcon 127 roll film fixed-focus camera. We went to the drugstore, my uncle loaded a roll of Verichrome Pan. I went to the northwest corner of Main and Center Street and waited for something to happen. Two high school girls and a housewife came walking toward me in the cross walk and I pressed the shutter. Decades later, I came across the contact prints of that first roll. I used my Nikon F and 55mm Micro-Nikkor to make a copy of the print. Which I still have. I even scanned that first shot and put it on the internet. Someone exclaimed about my picture, saying, "How many still remember and have the first photo they ever took?" From that age, photography has been an important part of my life, although my degree is in Fine Art. HCB's forte is in recognizing when all the elements come together and catching that peak quite accurately. As an artist, he recognizes a unique quality of light, action, angles and elements that would catch your interest. I envied HCB his independence, having a basic income and not having to work for someone else. Only having to please yourself can be a great asset and spiritual uplift to the artist. In 1952, I bought a 1936 Leica from my barber for $75. It is an excellent street camera, but lacks metering. Still, using the Sunny 16 rule, I was able to avoid too many errors of exposure. Today, I favor 4x5, as it slows me down. With my DSLR, I take too many snaps which are not thought through as much as my earlier work, where film and development for me was a major expense. Perhaps, then, that was inhibiting, too. I never tire of visiting our Museum of Modern Photography, especially when they have an exhibit of some of the most accomplished recorders of the human condition around, like Henri Cartier-Bresson. He taught me to follow my own path.
Very cool story! Starting photography school now and our first project is learning the Sunny 16 rule
Lessons of Life every second of what the Master says & the Photos ofcourse.
It's aite
“You have to try to put the camera between the skin of a person and his shirt.” WOW
Genius
Bravo!
Brilliant video, thank you for sharing.
Outstanding .... by the Master himself
Fantastic video. Thanks!
"Ofcourse it's all about LUCK" never seen people who got so many luck like him in today era... sorry, I heva seen one. Lionel Messi
Credits for the interview would be nice (and legal).

@@r.s.3289 Thanks. Credits are always good, even to one’s mother ;0)
So the audio is actually Cartier-Bresson speaking (to Sheila Turner-Seed during an interview)? That's amazing, and should be clearly stated in the description.
@@r.s.3289 Your film seems really interesting, Rachel. Is it available anywhere?
@@humbro Yes, that's correct. She interviewed him for 8 hours and then edited it down and paired it with his photos in this program above.
The Great HCB!❤️
Amazing photos. Amazing narrative. Very inspiring.
Yes! Yes, yes!
👌👏👏👏

Para mí la mejor es la primera, la del hombre intentando saltar el charco. Genial.
