His inventive work of the early 1930s helped define the creative potential of modern photography. Following World War II, he helped found the Magnum photo agency, which enabled photojournalists to reach a broad audience through magazines such as Life while retaining control over their work. Cartier-Bresson would go on to produce major bodies of photographic reportage, capturing such events as China during the revolution, the Soviet Union after Stalin's death, the United States in the postwar boom and Europe as its older cultures confronted modern realities. Published to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, this is the first major publication to make full use of the extensive holdings of the Fondation Cartier-Bresson--including thousands of prints and a vast resource of documents relating to the photographer's life and work. The heart of the book surveys Cartier-Bresson's career through 300 photographs divided into 12 chapters. While many of his most famous pictures are included, a great number of images will be unfamiliar even to specialists. A wide-ranging essay by Peter Galassi, Chief Curator of Photography at the Museum, offers an entirely new understanding of Cartier-Bresson's extraordinary career and its overlapping contexts of journalism and art. The extensive supporting material--featuring detailed chronologies of the photographer's professional travels and of spreads of his picture stories as they appeared in magazines--will revolutionize the study of Cartier-Bresson's work. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #242,459 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #13 in Black & White Photography #468 in Photograpy Equipment & Techniques #486 in Individual Photographers | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (130) | | Dimensions | 24.89 x 4.06 x 30.99 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0870707787 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0870707780 | | Item weight | 2.52 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Print length | 376 pages | | Publication date | 30 April 2010 | | Publisher | Museum of Modern Art | ## Images ![Museum of Modern Art Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Century - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RtzMaXWWL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/269838724-museum-of-modern-art-henri-cartier-bresson-the-century](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/269838724-museum-of-modern-art-henri-cartier-bresson-the-century) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-10-06*
