General info :
Henri Cartier-Bresson (22 August 1908, Chanteloup-en-Brie, France – 3 August 2004, Céreste, France (aged 95)) was a French artist and humanist photographer considered a master of candid photography, and an early user of 35mm film.
He pioneered the genre of street photography, and viewed photography as capturing a decisive moment.

Cartier-Bresson was one of the founding members of Magnum Photos in 1947. In the 1970s, he would put down his camera for a paintbrush, continuing his original love for art.

In 1937, Cartier-Bresson married a Javanese dancer, Ratna Mohini. They lived in a fourth-floor servants' flat in Paris at 19, rue Neuve-des-Petits-Champs (now rue Danielle Casanova), a large studio with a small bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom where Cartier-Bresson developed film. Between 1937 and 1939, Cartier-Bresson worked as a photographer for the French Communists' evening paper, Ce soir. With Chim and Capa, Cartier-Bresson was a leftist, but he did not join the French Communist party. In 1967, he was divorced from Ratna "Elie".
In 1970 Cartier-Bresson married Magnum photographer Martine Franck and in May 1972, the couple had a daughter, Mélanie.
