Henri Cartier-Bresson Birthday
I’m an anarchist — anarchism is an ethic, its a way of behaving.
Henri Cartier-Bresson. Born on this day, 1908.
Henri Cartier-Bresson was a celebrated photographer. "What Tolstoy was for literature", Cartier-Bresson was for photography. He was also a proud self-proclaimed anarchist. In fact, he did not see himself as a photographer or even as an artist, but first and foremost as an anarchist. The video below is a beautiful interview in coversation with Charlie Rose in which they discuss his radical left politics and his art.
