Biography
A member of an old French family who had a textile firm, he trained as a painter. After a year-long stay on Africa's Ivory Coast, he returned, dissatisfied with the slowness of painting. Recuperating from a case of black fever contracted while in Africa, he bought a Leica, a small 35mm camera. He called it "my other eye." His travels in the early 30s took him through Eastern Europe, Africa, France, Spain and Italy. He also dabbled in filmmaking, working with French director Jean Renoir. In 1937 he directed one of several documentaries about medical aid to the Loyalists during the Spanish Civil War. While serving with the French Army in WW II, he first entered photojournalism for the Resistance, then for the Press. He was captured in June of 1940, spending the next 35 months in a German POW camp. He was just in time to go to New York in 1946 to work on what was to have been a posthumous exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art. Three hundred images had been organized while he was imprisoned and presumed dead. In 1954, the Louvre showed his photographs in its first photo exhibition. He showed once again in 1966, becoming the only photographer to have two one-man shows in the Louvre. Over many travels, his work developed most markedly in Mexico. He had great vision, a sense of surrealism mixed with simplicity, allowing the picture to tell the story. "Henri Cartier-Bresson Photographer" Photographs by Henri Cartier-Bresson with an introduction by Yves Bonnefoy was published in 1993.
He was married with one daughter; a lifelong Parisian.
The world-famous photographer died on August 2, 2004 at his home in l’Ile-sur-Sorgue in the Vaucluse region of France. Cartier-Bresson was three weeks shy of his 96th birthday.
Human Design Analysis: Henri Cartier-Bresson as Manifesting Generator 5/2
Henri Cartier-Bresson is a Manifesting Generator in Human Design – an energy type that combines the sacral power of the Generator with the manifestation ability of the Manifestor. Manifesting Generators are multi-talented and often work on several things simultaneously.
The Manifesting Generator's strategy is to respond to impulses, inform others, and then act. Unlike pure Generators, they can skip steps and take shortcuts – this isn't a mistake but part of their design.
When Henri Cartier-Bresson lives in alignment with their design, they experience deep satisfaction and fulfillment. The not-self theme is frustration and anger – frustration when the sacral energy is blocked, and anger when the manifestation power can't flow freely.
Henri Cartier-Bresson has Sacral Authority. The Sacral Center responds with a clear physical reaction – an "uh-huh" (yes) or "un-un" (no). This gut response is spontaneous, direct, and reliable. The key is responding to the right question or impulse.
Henri Cartier-Bresson carries the profile 5/2 – Heretic / Hermit. The 5th line represents the Hero and Savior: others project expectations and hopes onto this line, which can deliver practical solutions for universal problems. The 2nd line represents the Natural: a natural talent that is often unconscious and only activated when called out by others.
The incarnation cross "Left Angle Cross of Industry 2" describes the overarching life purpose and direction of Henri Cartier-Bresson in Human Design. It consists of the four gate activations of Sun and Earth (personality and design) and only becomes felt when one lives their strategy and authority.
