Henri Cartier-Bresson retrospective opens at Mole Vanvitelliana in Ancona

The exhibition 'Henri Cartier-Bresson. Fotografo' was inaugurated on March 8, 2018, at Ancona's Mole Vanvitelliana, showcasing 140 black-and-white photographs. This event was a collaboration among Civita Mostre, the Municipality of Ancona, the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Magnum Photos Paris, taking place in the Sala Vanvitelli. Curated by Robert Delpire prior to his passing in 2017, the project was managed by Denis Curti and Andrea Holzherr. It features segments such as 'Gli esordi' and 'L’istante decisivo', highlighting iconic works like 'Place de l’Europe, Gare Saint-Lazare' and portraits of significant individuals. A publication by Contrasto accompanies the exhibition. Cartier-Bresson (1908–2004) drew inspiration from Surrealism and Cubism, famously capturing the 'decisive moment' with his Leica.
