Fondation qui abrite et expose ponctuellement les collections d'Henri Cartier-Bresson à Paris.
Située dans un ancien garage, permettant de beau volumes propices aux expositions, la fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson vaut le coup d'œil, et plus encore ! Elle abrite et expose ponctuellement les collections d’Henri Cartier-Bresson, photographe mythique du XXe, et de son épouse Martine Franck, photographe de talent. Toute l'année, c'est une programmation pointue d'artistes photographes majeurs, en plus d'un fonds comptant plus d'une centaine de milliers de photographies du couple.

Not everyone can be a good photographer, can they? And Henri Cartier-Bresson, known as “the eye of the century,” is an exceptional one. Capturing human life, understanding it in order to draw reflections from it, is of great importance. The photographs in the exhibition, taken with his inseparable Leica between 1930 and 1970, bear witness to his passion for Italy. His photos are snapshots of time, most often in black and white. “The first impression is often the best,” he says.
What I appreciate in his photographs is the tradition, the culture, and the everyday life of people. Some moments from the “little history” are presented to us—moments that seem trivial but in reality convey a great deal. Just like all forms of art, they carry a certain depth. The photographs sometimes hold a sense of nostalgia but also beauty.
I also enjoy, in some candid shots, the classic clothing of Italian men and women, such as woolen grey coats. Clothing, too, is a marker of a culture that shaped them.
In the end, I thought to myself that I would like, like Henri Cartier-Bresson, to master new technologies with excellence and creativity, and to have, on my humble level, that same power to transmit and to create art.
