52 Henri Cartier-Bresson Scrap Book Henri Cartier-Bresson was taken prisoner by the Germans in 1940. After two unsuccessful attempts, he managed to escape in 1943. During this time, the MoMA of New York, assuming that the artist had died in war, started preparing a “posthumous” exhibition of his work. When he reappeared, he was delighted to learn about the exhibition and he was decided to review his entire work and to select those photographs that he would have liked to exhibit. He selected and printed about 300 pictures, mostly unpublished at that time and went on to New York in 1946 with the prints in his suitcase. On his arrival, he bought a big “scrap book” into which he glued all his prints before showing them at MoMA. The exhibition was inaugurated on 4 February 1947, just before the creation of Magnum. In the 1990s, Cartier-Bresson once again became interested in this scrap book. The HCB Foundation, the present owner of the prints, has finished restoring them, making it possible to exhibit these extraordinary hitherto unpublished works to the public. This book is a facsimile reprint of Cartier-Bresson’s original scrap book. Henri Cartier-Bresson was born in France in 1908. He studied painting and in the early 1930’s he frequented members of the French surrealist movement and began to photograph. After escaping prison camp in 1943, he made portraits of artists, covered the liberation of Paris and filmed a documentary on the return of war prisoners. In 1946 he spent a year in the US to complete his first exhibition at MoMA. In 1947 he founded Magnum Photos with Robert Capa, George Rodger and David Seymour, and subsequently started travelling the world to take photographs. His first important book The Decisive Moment was published by Tériade in 1952. In the late 60’s, he stopped reportage and re-embraced his first passion, drawing. Cartier-Bresson created his Foundation in Paris in 2003, and passed away in 2004. Co-published with Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paris.
