Visit to the Cartier-Bresson Exhibition in Turin
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.

Unique location hidden from the Parisian touristic mess. Just next to the heart of Le Marais, the foundation makes temporal expositions of young and consolidated photographers across its 2 floors + the space dedicated to the Cartier-Bresson photo archive. I do recommend it and also visiting the shop just in the entrance of the atrium!
Great space hosting 1-2 exhibitions at a time. And for anyone who is a photographer or appreciates photography it is a must to visit the foundation of the father of the "decisive moment" and one of the greatest photographers.
