Strolling the streets in the 1920s, Henri Cartier-Bresson took photographs that captured the everyday and made it cinematic. Born in 1908, in the Île-de-France region, Cartier-Bresson documented many twists and turns of the 20th century: the Spanish Civil War, the coronation of Britain’s King George VI, the rise of Communist China. In 1947, he and Robert Capa founded the Magnum photo agency. In this large-scale exhibition—Germany’s first on Cartier-Bresson since his death, in 2004—240 original prints, as well as magazines, newspapers, and books, are on view. —Elena Clavarino
