Henri Cartier-Bresson. Watch!, Watch!, Watch!

Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) is one of the most famous photographers of the 20th century. His ability to capture the "decisive moment"—a spontaneous and significant instant—established him as a leading exponent of street photography. As a photojournalist, artist and portraitist, he created timeless compositions that left a profound imprint on the style of later generations of photographers.

The exhibition, in collaboration with the Bucerius Kunstforum in Hamburg, offers an in-depth look at his work, showcasing 240 original prints, including his early photographs, surrealist works, political reports, portraits of artists and writers, and his images of everyday life, spanning his career between 1930 and 1970.
