Henri Cartier-Bresson: Europeans

Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004)

Synopsis

Henri Cartier-Bresson's book "The Europeans" presents a photographic chronicle of Europe from the late 1920s to the early 1970s, capturing its essence post-war. Through his travels across diverse European landscapes—from Scandinavian terrains to Irish peatlands—Cartier-Bresson explores a collective European identity transcending individual national cultures. His photographs reveal a shared essence among European nations and people, showcasing the daily realities of life, whether depicting Polish clergy in religious garments or Abruzzi peasants in traditional attire. This body of work reflects on the unifying human experience amidst Europe's rich cultural tapestry.
