MoMa to mount major Henri Cartier-Bresson exhibition
The Museum of Modern Art will stage a a major retrospective of the photography of Henri Cartier-Bresson from April 11 to June 28, the museum announced this week.
The exhibition, “Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Modern Century,” will include 300 prints from 1929 to 1989, “at least one fifth of them previously unknown to the public,” MoMA promises.
on Jan 1, 1949 photographer Gjon Mili made these photographs of Pablo Picasso drawing with light for Life Magazine.
LIFE photographer Gjon Mili visited Picasso in 1949. Mili showed the artist some of his photographs of ice skaters with tiny lights affixed to their skates jumping in the dark—and Picasso’s mind began to race. The series of photographs that follows—Picasso’s light drawings—were made with a small flashlight in a dark room; the images vanished almost as soon as they were created.
