Wolfsburg, Germany.- The Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg is proud to present "Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Geometry of the Moment", on view at the museum through May 13th 2012. Henri Cartier-Bresson was the acknowledged ‘master of the moment’. With this presentation of around 100 photographs and 7 drawings by the renowned French artist, the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg is featuring another pioneering figure in its series of “Great Modernist Photographers”, which has to date included Brassaï, Lee Miller and Edward Steichen. Born in a suburb of Paris in 1908, Henri Cartier-Bresson’s photographic career began in 1930 and continued until 1972, when he decided to concentrate all his energies on drawing. After escaping from a German prisoner-of-war camp in 1943 he joined the French Resistance, and in 1947 he co-founded the now world-famous Magnum photo agency with four colleagues.
